ICBC Tip-of-the-Month (July 2015): Top Ten Mistakes (#7)


TOP 10 MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN MAKING AN ICBC CLAIM


Mistake #7: You Fail to Obtain a Work Capacity Evaluation

A Work Capacity Evaluation (also known as Functional Capacity Evaluation) can help prove your functional limitations at work and at home. 

ICBC will insist that you are able to return to full-time work or your finances may force you to return to work putting you at further risk of injury.  In these situations, this assessment can be invaluable in proving your claim. 

Seek legal advice if you find yourself in this position. Work Capacity Evaluations are expensive and they will require a good medical background, including all clinical records, consult reports, and medical opinions for the assessor to engage in a full and proper assessment.
