Question
Do I have to call the police?
Answer
You may be required to report an incident to the police if the combined property damage appears to exceed $1000 ($600 for a motorcycle).
You must report to the police in any of the following cases:
- Injury or death occurred
- A hit-and-run accident. Please note, police reporting requirements for hit-and-run claims may vary among police detachments around the province. You may be asked to contact ICBC directly for further information.
- A break-in or vandalism to your vehicle
- Your car is stolen
Make your police report within 24 hours if the crash happened in the city; within 48 hours if it happened in a rural area.
