This story was submitted by Damian! In the bustling area near Commercial Drive in Vancouver, what started as a regular Saturday quickly turned into a frustrating ordeal for Damian. On July 13th, 2024, around 5 p.m., Damian's 2024 Subaru Outback was the victim of a hit-and-run. Luckily, Damian had a BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus 4K dash cam installed, and it captured the entire event—turning a potentially expensive and stressful situation into a clear-cut case for insurance.
Damian had parked his Subaru Outback and stepped away when a Dodge Grand Caravan collided with his car. The Dodge, bearing the license plate NR7 44A, didn't stop or leave any contact information. Instead, it sped away, leaving Damian's car damaged and him at a significant loss—for the moment. Upon discovering the damage, Damian felt a wave of frustration. But, remembering he had his BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus 4K dash cam running, he quickly reviewed the footage. The dash cam had captured everything: the impact, the car's license plate, and even the make and model of the Dodge Grand Caravan.
Armed with this crucial video evidence, Damian contacted ICBC, British Columbia’s auto insurer. The clear and detailed footage allowed ICBC to identify the offending vehicle and determine exactly what had transpired. Damian shared, "ICBC found the other driver 100% at fault. ICBC also told me I would have had to pay my deductible if I didn’t have dash cam footage of the hit-and-run. It was all the evidence I needed to prove my case."
Without the dash cam footage, Damian would have faced not only the inconvenience and stress of the hit-and-run but also the financial burden of paying his collision deductible. Thanks to the BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus, Damian avoided these costs and ensured the responsible party was held accountable.
