It’s just a couple of weeks past the year of the accident settlement.(April 15, 2013)
I paid for the chair, but Gord, at w/c outlet, asked me if Part 7 (Insurance Phrasing) covered this. He said it should. I enquired, as my lawyer never explained it properly….
Not only was there more for me than the $25M the lawyer quoted for me when I get old and move into a Home, but there is $150M, and it covers the chair, all Karla’s bills for this past year, all Ellen’s bills, medications, the bath lift, the $600 cushion, a sliding transfer board and a hand held shower. …..unless something I’ll put together is not relevant for the past year. Thank Heavens I kept all my receipts.
My lawyer has not contacted me….he has put this duty onto one of his underling lawyers: who told me all this, so I will be working with him.
I have a lot of scanning to do. See ya later!

Wow!!! That sounds like a really nice surprise.
I guess I don't fully understand what this means to you wholly. Sounds as though having some stuff paid off is going to be a burden off of your shoulders.

Thank you Tupp, Hops and

Just a short explanation that came to light about Part 7 in ICBC laws. After the claim was settled didn't mean I wouldn't be spending more for my health/life benefit, just the same as the bills I piled up to add to the claim.
The new wheelchair brought it to light when the salesman asked me if it was being covered by part 7. I hadn't thought so from what my lawyer told me, but now it look like I can claim yearly expenses from Part 7, such as the chair, the continued therapy, the addition of a housekeeper et al, my bath lift, a sliding board and a special cushion for having no hip"
I still have a question after emailing this lawyer all my paperwork--am I still owed the price of one wheelchair? i.e. the one that was damaged, along with me, that came to the hospital with me and I was not given a loaner chair, so I bought another and now this one. (in the interim from the damaged chair gone missing and coning home in an old 10 year old chair of me, I did get a loaner, but the damage was done with my old one---too rickety and my leg incisions were infected.
I have enough money but I like things to be fair, and not have ICBC saying, behind my back..."Ha-Ha! We got away with that one!
