What Type of Claim Do You Have?

For a home insurance claim, you can contact your broker or you can call your insurance agency directly.

Next Steps

We understand that experiencing damage to your property can be overwhelming, and we’re here to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Prevent Further Damage

If your property’s been affected—whether by a storm, a break-in, or water—you’ll want to take steps to stop things from getting worse. That might mean covering a broken window or turning off the water. It might mean contacting a restoration company to help with this – make sure to keep your receipts as you might be reimbursed. Before you clean up, be sure to take photos or videos of the damage so everything is properly documented.

Step 2: Contact Us

Call us at 604-255-4616 (if after hours dial 8 for instructions) or contact your carrier immediately.

Step 3: Share the Details

The adjusters will ask for any information you have—like receipts, reports, or those photos you took. We know this might be a tough time, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Step 4: Claim Review

Your claims adjuster will look into what happened and confirm what’s covered under your policy.

Step 5: Clean-Up and Repairs

Once your claim is reviewed, your adjuster will guide you through the next steps—whether it’s cleaning up, making repairs, or replacing damaged items. They will confirm what’s covered and how to move forward.

We’re Here for You

No matter the situation, you’re not alone. Our team is here to help guide you, advocate for you, and make sure you feel confident and supported when you need it most.

Making a Claim: We’ve Got Your Back!

We understand that dealing with an auto claim can be stressful, but don’t worry—we’re here to guide you through every step of the way.

Car, Motorcycle, or Optional Auto Claims: Your Next Steps

Before you file your claim, here is the quick and easy path to getting started:
  1. Give ICBC a quick call! For the fastest service, please contact ICBC’s Dial-A-Claim Hotline within 24 hours of the incident. Call: 604-520-8222 or Report a claim online.
  2. Meet your Adjuster: An experienced adjuster will be assigned to your case and will contact you directly. They will walk you through everything, including where to take your vehicle for inspection (whether it’s an ICBC facility or an authorized repair centre). They’ll provide all the specific details you need.
  3. Speak to your Adjuster after reporting your claim: An adjuster can walk you through everything, including where to take your vehicle for inspection (whether it’s an ICBC facility or an authorized repair centre). They’ll provide all the specific details you need.

What to Have When You Call ICBC

Gathering this information beforehand will help make your call to ICBC even quicker and easier:
  • Your plate number
  • Name of the insured
  • The cause of the loss or damage (what happened to your vehicle?)
  • Date and time of the incident/accident
  • Details on the other vehicle (if another vehicle was involved, any info you have on their licence plate, driver’s license, or vehicle type is helpful.)
  • Be ready to provide a full statement of what happened

Do You Still Have Questions?

To ensure a smooth claim, we may need a few things like receipts, photos, or videos. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process and let you know exactly what supporting documents are needed.

This can be a frustrating scenario. Adjusters are on the road most of their working week, and although your claim is still being processed, it can take time for them to respond. The best way to obtain updates regarding your claim is to dial the main claims number, but DON’T enter your adjuster’s extension. Instead, follow the prompts to speak to a claim’s customer service rep. They can access your file and advise or update you on next steps.

Contact us if you need help. Aside from good general advice from your broker, we have an experienced claims advocate who will step in when needed.

Thinking about making a claim but worried your premiums might go up? Don’t stress, just give us a call. We’ll review your unique situation and offer expert advice. If it looks like filing the claim could end up costing you more, we’ll be upfront with you. And the best part? Talking to us won’t put the incident on your record.
