I am hearing more this year than before.
I suppose they are going the US way then. Shame there isn't a 'Canadian' expression for it, rather than a yank one.

It's just pancake day to me, lol.

It's not a big deal, but rather if someone hasn't used their real name themselves in the public forum then we just ask that others don't post it to protect their privacy. That's all.

As for me, my name isn't really Sue. I am actually a big burly builder named Bob from Bodmin

Good move. Its really the only way to deal with ICBC, a necessary evil when dealing with the most evil of all insurance companies.

Bike accident update.

Initially the ICBC adjuster dealing with my claim said that the driver was 100% at fault.

I am still injured - My Drs have ****ed up twice getting me an ortho referral , i will still have to wait a year to see one !

My lawyer has organized a provate referral and MRI - cost approx $3000, but not an issue if win case . . .

BUT yesterday my Laywer received ICBCs defence lawyers response that they are now denying liability !!

Pissed off is an understatement .

in a segregated bike lane, slowed to stop at lights, truck to left had no indicator PLUS managed to move a large concrete bollard in his wonky right turn manoeuvre or a junction that the City have now made no right turn!

Good luck. ICBC is the worst insurance company to deal with, glad you have a lawyer dealing with them, its the only way to work with ICBC.

Was there a police report putting blame on driver?

No , because ambulance and fire truck were already at scene when police arrived, fire told then they were good to go !

Thanks for updating. What made them change from accepting to denying fault?
