What Does ICBC Mean by Low Velocity Impact (LVI) Claim?
Lots of injured people are told by ICBC that they aren’t hurt because there wasn’t much damage to the vehicles. ICBC calls these claims “low velocity impact crashes”, or “LVI” for short. If ICBC decides your crash is an ICBC LVI claim, they may say you aren’t hurt. By doing this, they conclude they don’t have to pay you out any money. The fact is, however, that low velocity impact crashes can and do cause people significant injuries.
