Follow this Process
If you?ve been in a car accident, the first step of filing a
hassle-free claim happens at the scene of the collision. Once the area
is secure and everyone is safe, get the name, driver?s license and
license plate number of the other driver. It?s also very important to
get the names and addresses of any witnesses. This may be crucial in
determining who was ?at fault? or responsible in the collision.
As soon as possible during normal office hours, you or the
owner of the vehicle should set up an appointment to have your vehicle
appraised and the damage assessed. Accidents must also be reported to
the police under any of the following circumstances: If the collision
results in injury or death | if it?s a hit and run | if a driver is
impaired | if any of the vehicles involved have to be towed from the
scene | If the collision involves an out-of-province vehicle.
If none of the above applies, the accident needs only to be reported to
SGI. Injuries need to be reported separately to the injury claims
office.
On the day of your appointment, take your vehicle to the
appraisal location where an appraiser will assess the damage and the
cost of repairs. (If your vehicle is not drivable, arrangements will be
made to have your vehicle towed to a location where the damage can be
appraised).
Once the appraisal is done, you will receive a printout
outlining the cost of repairs if your vehicle is repairable. After your
adjuster confirms your insurance coverage is in order, you may have your
vehicle repaired.
When repairs on your vehicle are completed, the body shop will
ask you to sign a Certification of Repairs. This document is your
authorization for the insurance company to pay the insured portion of
the account directly to the repair facility. It also signifies that
you?re satisfied with the repairs.
