It is good to tell your insurance company within 24 hours of the accident. This way you can receive money from your insurance company soon so you can get your car fixed.

How do i find a person's insurance company?

If you were involved in an accident with this person then their insurance information will be listed on the accident report. If you were not involved in an accident then it is not your business who they have insurance with. Much of this is covered by the privacy laws so if you really have to know ask the person.

How long do you have to report an accident to your insurance in Ontario?

When you are involved in an accident involving injury or property damage, you need to report it to your agent, broker, or insurance company within seven days, regardless of who is at fault. If you are unable to report it within seven days, report it as soon as possible after that. If you don't report your accident within a reasonable amount of time, your insurance company may not have to honour your claim. http://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/english/insurance/auto/after_auto_accident_ENG.pdf

Can an insurance agency find out about a claim or accident even if there was no police involved or report on it when asked about your past accident history?

Yes, CLUE reports monitor anything paid by any insurance company regardless of a police report. Therefore, only if you reported the accident to the insurance company or they reported it.

Yes. Your policy probably says something to the effect that you must report ALL accidents you're involved in.


If you had an accident with no other cars involved and filed a claim to insurance with no police report do you have to report this accident to the new company if you get different insurance?

If you don't the new insurance company can cancel your coverage and possibly not cover any of YOUR losses. They might also consider it to be fraud. Any accident less than $750 isn't chargeable, but if you filled a claim with another insurance company your new company would found out even if you don't tell them, when they run your MVR which shows your tickets and previous insurance companies and claim paid.


If you are involved in a minor collision and the police respond do they report the accident to the appropriate insurance companies?

No, the police never notify insurance companies of accidents or tickets. It is the responsibility of the insured party to notify their insurance company.
