Filing a claim step by step
Start by making sure everyone is okay. That’s the most important thing. When you’re ready, these are the steps:
-
Report
You’ll need your insurance policy number. We’ll start a file and walk you through the next steps.
-
Damage appraisal and claim assessment
We need to determine your liability, the damage to your car, whether it can be repaired and, if so, the cost of repairs.
-
Your settlement in clear terms
Based on your coverage, we determine the exact amount of your settlement.
-
Time for repairs
Depending on the settlement and the repair shop’s preference, we’ll either pay the shop directly or send you a cheque by mail. Don’t wait to have any emergency repairs done that are necessary for your safety. Just hold on to your receipts.

We keep you posted so you know what’s going on every step of the way.
You don’t have to check your claim’s status every day. Rest assured that you’ll be notified about important decisions and information.

Psychological support after an accident or loss
After an accident, it’s normal to want to talk about it.
We offer free psychological support to all our insureds after an accident or loss. These overwhelming experiences can be profoundly traumatic and affect our mental health. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
More questions about claims? We’ve got more answers.
When a deductible applies, is it deducted from the indemnity amount. If your vehicle can be repaired, you pay the deductible to the repair shop you’ve chosen for your vehicle.
Changes in insurance premiums at renewal are affected by several factors, such as where you live, vehicle usage, vehicle type, and your driving record. Your record includes an accident history, which includes losses other than collisions. It’s the number of claims in the five years prior to renewal (and not the amount paid in claims) that has an impact on the premium.
If your claim is for a windshield repair, in most cases it won't affect your premium.
Yes, you can choose which shop repairs your vehicle. If you need help choosing, we work with a network of approved auto repair and body shops that can assess the damage and carry out the needed repairs.
