How do I make a claim with private auto insurance?

When you have private optional insurance and have a claim, who you report the claim to depends on the type of claim you are making.

When do I make a claim with ICBC?

ICBC is the insurer of your first $200,000 of third party liability (or more with Intact Insurance as they do not offer thrid party liability coverage) any time that coverage may need to be used, such as an at fault accident, you would submit your claim to ICBC.  You would also submit this claim to your private insurance company, so they are aware of it, or in case the third party damage exceeds $200,000.

If an accident is not your fault, you would report the claim to ICBC as they will be responsible for paying your damages.

When would I make a claim to my private insurance company only?

When your claim is either a single vehicle accident collision claim or a comprehensive claim, there is no need to inform ICBC of this claim.  You can call us for help submitting your claim unlike with ICBC where we are unable to get involved in the claims process.
