If someone files a claim against you
- Contact your Desjardins Agent or claim representative; we will conduct an investigation to assess those allegations.
- Subject to the terms and conditions of your policy, we will pay those claims that you are legally liable to honour.
If anyone is injured
- If you or your passengers have applicable medical payments or personal injury coverage, injury-related bills will be paid according to the terms and conditions of your policy.
- Auto liability coverage may protect you if you damage someone else's property or cause injury to others.
Settling a claim
- We'll pay to repair, replace or furnish the agreed upon actual cash value of your property, subject to the terms and conditions of your policy.
- If applicable, check with your lienholder (if you've financed or owe money on a car) about how they handle claim payments; we may be required to protect them as well.
- Contact your Desjardins Agent or claim representative with questions.
