accident in the states

I just got a car accident in the states, I already reported to ICBC, what else do I need to do?

Thank you!!

You should get a lawyer to help your case, for better settlement.

Something I learn from a massage therapist is that in a car accident, quite often your neck/back muscle tissue is already damage, and you will notice the pain when you get older.

The states insurance called me today, he asked some information about this case... But seems like it's gonna be so complicated since I don't live in the states...

u lucky at least wont get sued, have u seen the statement from the other side yet?
they could make up things too.

look forward to get fix now, if u cant resolve your health issues u may need to hire attorney in that state to sue on your behalf. US drivers may not have the big ins we carry here, so is wise to buy under insurance here.

It's not my fault, the other car hit the back of mine

Who's fault?  in the US, suppose if you are not a fault, then you would call thei other's party's insurance company, and report the claim.  You only call your own if the you are at fault, or they would call your insurance and try to make it sounds like it's your fault.  Then since you are with iCBC, you would want to report this to ICBC anyway.
