You must report any 'incidents' involving the drivers or vehicles listed on your policy to your insurance company. The Statutory/General conditions set out in the Standard Automobile Policy in each province outline when an 'incident' should be reported.

We strongly recommend that you open a claim as soon as possible so we can investigate the situation and look out for your best interest. This is especially important if a minor (someone under the age of majority) was involved in an accident. If a minor was involved in an accident, they have the right to raise an injury claim once they are of legal age. TD Insurance is legally obligated to respond to such a claim unless one has already been filed.

Call 911 if there have been any injuries because of the accident, or if you think a criminal act has been committed.

If you or any party has sustained injuries, or there has been property damage beyond the stipulated amount in the region where the accident occurred, particularly if there is damage to public property, a Police report is required. If you are unsure, it’s always best to call the Police for guidance.

You may begin your claim at any time before or after filing a Police report, if one is needed.

Here is more information on how premiums are calculated or how accidents impact your insurance premium.

'Fault' is an insurance term for which party involved in an accident is considered responsible and to what extent. The process of determining 'Fault' is something we take very seriously. We review statements from all parties involved, and if required additional information from witnesses, Police reports, dashcam videos, pictures, diagrams and more. We will follow 'Fault' Determination Rules as set out by the relevant jurisdiction, where applicable. These regulations will differ depending on which province/territory/country the accident occurs in.

We strongly recommend that you do not agree to damages or liability. Any agreement you make with parties involved in an accident may leave you personally exposed to subsequent legal liability and damage claims. Your insurer protects you against damages to persons or property, and liability arising from an accident or loss. It is always recommended that you advise your insurer of any accidents or losses, and that you seek the guidance of a Claims Advisor.

Province/Territory Than Where I’m Licensed? Am I Covered? Your policy covers you only while driving in Canada and in the USA. You will need to follow the laws of where you were driving when the accident occurred and not the province or territory where you hold a license. This means that the province, territory, or state where you were involved in an accident may have different laws such as their Highway Traffic act, or rules including Fault Determination rules, which outline how responsibility for an accident is determined.
