Collision Reporting and Claims Process
Have you been in a car accident in or around the Thunder Bay area? If you’re unsure what to do next, you’ve come to the right place! Our team is here to help with a comprehensive collision reporting handbook, outlining the process below in four simple steps:
1. Attend to any injuries
2. A picture is worth 1,000 words
Pictures speak louder than the words used to describe them and certainly take a lot less time when it comes to accident records. Take pictures of the four following elements:
- Damages
Following your accident, take as many pictures of the damage as you can, and be sure to get images of both vehicles. Include photos of the license plates involved, as well as the interior of the vehicles. This way, you can avoid any discrepancies between you and the other driver’s damage records. - License
Taking a record of information from the other driver’s license(s) is essential to a successful report. An image quickly grabs all the information you need from the document, and you can offer your own license image, as well. Be sure to take this time to get their contact information for further communication, such as a phone number or email address. - Insurance
Exchanging insurance information serves to say that you both can pay for any damages, as well as secure a means of communication should traditional communication fail. - Conditions
Finally, note the weather, timing, and location of the accident. All three of these variables can help collision centres, authorities and insurance companies determine external variables that may have had an impact on the accident.
3. When to report
4. At the collision centre
Once you have determined to go to a collision centre, you must determine how to get there. Generally, it is not a good idea to drive your car after it has just been subject to an accident. Instead, call a friend or Uber to drive you to the reporting centre while a tow truck drives your car there for you.

Ontario HST Rebate 2026: The Housing vs Condo Market
The early impact of Ontario’s 2026 HST rebate shows that incentives alone do not affect all housing segments equally. While the rebate has begun to support demand for low-rise homes, its influence on the condo market has been far more limited. The takeaway is straightforward: the HST rebate helps at the margins, but it cannot resolve underlying market imbalances on its own. Until supply levels normalize and confidence returns, the condo market is likely to remain under pressure, even as other segments begin to stabilize.
