Vehicle damage claims
Desjardins Insurance knows that an accident is stressful on its own, filing a claim for vehicle damage shouldn’t be. If you need to report a claim, contact your Desjardins Agent who will guide you through the process.
Before you file a claim
Before you begin, review your policy for specific coverage information. You will be asked to provide information about the damage to your car and its current location.
Keep in mind that you have the right to select the repair facility that meets your vehicle repair needs, even ones that do not have agreements with Desjardins Insurance. If you don’t select one of our network’s repair facilities, other options may be provided.
