If you were seriously injured in a vehicle crash in BC, ICBC's Enhanced Care benefits may include help with home modifications.

What ICBC says

ICBC states that benefits for severe, permanent and catastrophic injuries may cover extraordinary expenses for home and vehicle modifications where needed. Rehabilitation coverage can include necessary alterations to your home. ICBC's published guides give examples such as ramps, stair lifts and bathroom alterations.

What to expect

Your ICBC claim team and your care team (often an occupational therapist) decide what is needed.
An assessment of your home identifies the changes.
ICBC decides what it will cover, so agree on the plan with them before work starts.

Typical modifications

Ramps and step-free entrances. See ramp options.
Stairlifts and home elevators. See Stairs & Lifts and Home Elevators.
Accessible bathrooms. See accessible bathroom design.
