We're hardly ever prepared for emergencies, accidents or other extraordinary events and incidents that disrupt our lives.

The following are some hints to help you be better prepared, especially for incidents that involve making a claim on your insurance policy.

1. First things first
2. If possible, talk to us
3. If we're not immediately available
4. Car accidents in Toronto

1. First things first

In the event of an accident, take steps to prevent any further damage. Secure medical assistance immediately for any injuries to people. Take steps to prevent further property damage by moving a car out of traffic, or turning off a water source in the event of a burst pipe, or temporarily covering an open entrance to a home to shut out bad weather.

 

2. If possible, talk to us

If you have a claim to make, call us during business hours and we'll be able to advise you about the implications of making a claim and what you can expect from the process. We monitor claims to ensure you are being provided with the service you have contracted for.
