Brittany was tragically taken from us on June 21, 2025. She was simply waiting at the light to cross the road when she was struck by a speeding vehicle and died. Brittany was a wonderful and very loved daughter, sister, and friend. Due to ICBC having the "No Fault" clause, we feel nothing is going to be done about this. Why does the driver of the vehicle not have to pay for taking a life?

The "No Fault" clause in the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) policies implies that no individual involved in a motor vehicle accident is deemed responsible, regardless of the circumstances. This, unfortunately, absolves negligent drivers from being held accountable, leaving the victims and their families without justice or closure.

This clause undermines the very essence of accountability, and its continued enforcement means countless victims, just like Brittany, will never have their day in court. Drivers must be held accountable for their actions to ensure that justice is served, not only to deter reckless driving but also to provide solace to those affected by such devastating incidents.

In personal injury cases, the importance of responsibility cannot be understated. Statistics show a correlation between strong legal accountability frameworks and reduced traffic infringements; in regions without "No Fault" laws, fewer accidents occur. With concrete evidence pointing to the flaws in the "No Fault" system, our call is clear: provide a platform where true justice can be served, and prevent future tragedies by holding those at fault accountable.

Ending the "No Fault" policy would align British Columbia’s legal framework with international best practices, where individuals are given the right to seek redress and accountability. This move will not only give victims like Brittany justice but also enforce the tenet that actions have consequences, thereby fostering a more responsible driving culture.

We urge ICBC and the provincial government to reconsider and eliminate this clause. Sign this petition to demand change, ensure justice for victims, and bring about a more accountable and safer driving environment for all across British Columbia.
