Motor Vehicle Accident Recovery in Burnaby: Your Path to a Pain-Free Life and ICBC Claims

What to do Immediately After a Car Accident

Quick action after an accident is crucial for both your health and claim:

Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine initially, some injuries may not be immediately apparent:
- Whiplash symptoms can develop 24-48 hours after the accident
- Concussion signs might not be obvious right away
- Soft tissue injuries can worsen without proper care
- Some injuries only become noticeable once the initial shock wears off

Document Everything

Proper documentation strengthens your claim:

• Take photos of any visible injuries
• Keep a record of symptoms and pain levels
• Save all medical and treatment receipts
• Note any missed work days
• Track how the injury affects daily activities
