Auto claims
Follow these steps when your vehicle has been damaged or stolen:
1 Contact the police.
Do not discuss the details of the accident with anyone but the police. Do not sign anything, discuss liability or accept fault with others involved or with witnesses.
2 Document the incident.
Document the accident in writing as best you can. Note damage to the vehicles, and the weather and road conditions. If possible, take photos at the scene with your camera or cell phone, or make a diagram of the events.
3 Exchange information.
Exchange names, addresses, telephone numbers, insurance company information and policy numbers with everyone involved, including any passengers or witnesses. If necessary, get the licence plate number of anyone who will not cooperate.
4 Report your claim.
To report your claim during business hours, contact us. Outside of business hours, call our 24-hour emergency claims service (1 800 722-9556).
