Don’t expect a payout after an accident

Do Not Use Intact!!! I was hit by a drunk driver, and my car was ultimately written off by insurance. Not only was their settlement low, but due to a concussion I received from the accident I only was applying to be reimbursed my lost wages as I was unable to work both my jobs for a month (obviously I had doctors notes to corroborate this). After having someone come to my home to go over all the paperwork and submit my claim, saying everything was in order, I get a letter in the mail from someone I’ve never spoken to or dealt with who said my claim had been denied due to “my injuries did not substantiate my claim”. Again, despite having all the proper documentation, they said my concussion didn’t justify them paying me for only a month of lost work time. This is how Intact treats their customers, it is a terrible organization and I have nothing but ill will towards this company. 0/5 stars review is what it should read.
Was involved in a not-at-fault accident with injuries. Claim adjudication for the car repair was excellent - claim adjudication for the injuries is awful, unfair, done in bad faith and proves that their word isn't worth the paper it's written on. They cause extreme hardship and not even bother to respond to the lawyer, just waiting on a tribunal date months down the road hoping that you are so much cornered by that time that you will accept their ridiculous settlement intentions.
If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.
Absolutely horrible experience I'm going through at the moment. I had an accident about 2 months ago where the other driver was at fault and charged. My vehicle was completely totalled. At first, they were quick to help me make my claim, they were on top of everything, and provided me with the information I needed. After that first day; it's impossible to get a hold of ANYONE. I've called at least 5 times a day for the last two months, probably filled up their entire voicemail box, e-mailed them every day, and didn't receive a single response!!! I needed physio, I needed settlement money to get a new vehicle, I needed to know what was going on. Even my insurance broker couldn't and still can't get a hold of them!!!! They couldn't even send me paperwork on time. I got my personal injury paperwork about 3.5 weeks after the accident and had 2 days to get it in before it expired... I emailed them asking if I still had time to submit everything and got no response (needed my employer to sign some papers but he was on vacation so I couldn't get it in)... I did get a rental car for 3 weeks, but the second they offered me a settlement (horrible offer) they took the rental away and I've been left without a vehicle and without money for over a month... I told them I deserved a lot more based on the service they've been provided, and the fact my vehicle was in 10/10 condition before the accident with brand new tires and they said their offer was the best they could do which is complete nonsense. They DON'T CARE, they honestly do not care about their customers. In a perfect world, I would love to sue to get what I deserve in this situation, but I just don't have the time or money right now and just want my settlement money to move on. I'm such an easy-going person and never complain about any negative situation, but this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. DO NOT GO WITH THEM, so many better companies out there; even if you're paying a little extra per month in insurance, do it so you can get better service.
I was in an accident (not my fault) lots of out of pocket expenses and have to fight to get reimbursed. I sent pics, including prescriptions with names and AB2 info. Called Intact and they told me, yes all looked at and approved....no money... So 2 weeks later, I called and they told - still are not reviewed... Then I keep calling and checking in... Then Intact needs more info ex.. who is the cast and crutches for? WELL... Cast, crutches all prescription have a name on them and AB 2 shows leg fracture. Just dumb on their part. For your information, they only cover 165$ of extra medical expenses!
Since I've been trying to deal fairly with intact, I've been given poor resolution, unfair return for my vehicle, no money's for lost wages, poor and limited health benefits for injuries and pain. I wouldn't have this company as my insurance provider ever again.

My son was is a bad car accident as the passenger. This claim was in litigation for years. He was in constant pain and ended up committing suicide. I am his mother and this process was painful and unbearable. It dragged on and Intact legal finally offered just over $1,000. This is disgusting. We are forced to pay Insurance our entire lives but do not try to collect. These people are heartless and deceitful. My family and I will never use Intact again.
