Report the incident to the police within 24 hours in rural areas. If you don't, your ICBC claim may be denied. Your adjuster will need the police file number for your claim report. Report the hit and run even if you are not planning to make a claim to ICBC for damages. The police may have a suspect on file but no victim or crime to link them with. If you do plan to claim, notify ICBC as soon as possible. What happens next?

Phone 365-5266 and mayjrequest a sworm affidavit. We will exam- ine your vehicle and may visit the scene of the accident. Wit- nesses may also be inter- viewed, if apprdpriate, to confirm the cause and extent of damage. Am | covered for hit and run claims outside BC? Each province across Canada has an “unsatisfied judgment” fund or similar fund to cover uninsured losses but some provinces do not cover hit and run. Most states in the US do not provide any similar fund for either hit.and run or uninsured losses. Neither do the Yukon nor Northwest Territories. If your vehicle, insured by Autoplan, is involved in a hit and run accident on a high- way* outside BC where there isn't similar uninsured or hit and run motorist protection, you can apply to ICBC for if in your car is injured or killed, but not for damage that is caused to your vehicle while outside BC. Such an accident must be report- ed to the police in the jurisdic- tion where it occured within 24 hours and a claim must be filed with ICBC within 28 days. edual air bags '94 THUNDERBIRD LX 4 69782 ‘P21 S/TORXA5 BSW tires *cruise control nt "4993 F150 4x4 XL 5.0L EFi, 5 speed, 3.55 axle, tach, trailer towing package, h.d. rear susp., deluxe 2 tone paint, aluminum wheels. 18,491 Ice to dealer Air, tilt/cruise, AM/FM cassette, 7 passenger, air cond., 3.0L, automatic, sport package, AM/FM cass., clear- coat paint, two tone.

No, a hit and run claim does not directly affect your own insurance premiums. There- fore, some people. pretend that damage they caused. them- selves resulted from a hit and run accident. Insurance experts estimate that approximately 30 percent of hit and run claims filed with ICBC are false. Making false claims is against the law and ICBC will refuse to pay on false claims under hit and run or any other coverage. A claimant making false claims could face criminal charges. Hit and run claims cost the Autoplan Fund millions of dol- lars every year. Inevitably, the cost of fraudulent claims affects the premiums we all pay. If you are aware of anyone making fraudulent or exagger- ated claims against ICBC, please call our tipline at 661- 6844, or 1-800-661-6844 toll free throughout BC. *As defined in the Insurance (Motor Vehicle) Act of BC What if | witness a hit and run accident?
