What is the ICBC's approach to assessing damages in a motor vehicle accident?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Singh v. Clay, 2011 BCSC 1172 (CanLII):
The defendant ICBC agrees the appropriate approach to the assessment of damages in this case is that set out by our Court of Appeal in Bradley v. Groves, 2010 BCCA 361, leave to appeal to S.C.C. refused, 2011 CarswellBC 890. The defendant ICBC agrees the injuries following the first accident are indivisible from those sustained in the other accidents: that is, it is appropriate to assess damages globally, not apportion them between the various accidents.
