FAQ’s
What you do after an auto accident or a natural disaster can save you time, money and energy.
Below are some of the most commonly-asked questions, and some answers that may not be “common knowledge.”

What should I do if I’m involved in a car accident?
Exchange information with the other driver(s) involved in the accident. You should exchange names, addresses, telephone numbers, type and ownership of vehicles, insurance information and a description of damages.
Get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses. Call the police.
The police will advise you if their response to the scene is not necessary. Do not admit fault to anyone as there could be multiple factors contributing to an accident. Give factual details of your recollection of the accident and cooperate with the police in providing answers to their questions. If your vehicle needs to be towed, request that it be removed to a repair shop of your choice. As soon as possible, contact the company carrying your insurance to report the loss.
What should I do in the event of a homeowners or commercial property loss?
As soon as possible, contact the company carrying your insurance to report the loss. Make reasonable and necessary repairs to protect your property from further damage or loss. Keep a record of repair costs and retain receipts for any expenditures. If the loss involves theft or vandalism, notify the police immediately.
What should I do if there’s an accident at work, and a potential workers’ compensation claim?
What if a storm has damaged my home so severely that I can’t stay in it?
You must keep all receipts in order for the expenses to be considered part of the loss. The expenses must be in line with normal living costs and must be a necessary and direct result of the loss. Policies typically limit recovery under “additional living expenses” to a percentage of the amount of coverage on the home itself.
If trees on my property are blown down am I covered?
I’ve reported my claim, now what should I do?
Is there anything I can do to help speed up the claims process?
An adjuster will contact you as soon as possible, but priority will be given to the most severe losses. Larger claims may be settled in stages, not all at once. While you wait for the adjuster to contact you, you should:
- Estimates. Get at least two, and preferably three repair estimates for the adjuster to review.
- Photos. Take photos of the damaged property and gather any pictures showing the property before the loss.
- Replacement Costs. List all damaged property, including each item’s description, age, original cost, place of purchase, and estimated replacement cost. Include any receipts or canceled cheques for these items.
How long after an adjuster reviews my claim should I have to wait to receive a cheque?
It depends on the cause of the claim. If your claim is an isolated incident, you’re more likely to get a resolution quickly. If your claim is one of many, the claim process is likely to take far longer. You should call back a few days after your interview with the adjuster, to see when they submitted the paperwork to your insurance company. You may also want to contact the insurance company after the adjuster has forwarded them their report.
