Claims
If the crash resulted in a death
We’re here to support you through this difficult time with coverage for funeral expenses, grief counselling, and death benefits.
Accessing benefits as a family member of the deceased
Once you've submitted a claim, a recovery specialist will be assigned to you. They can help you access several benefits to help you through the loss of a family member.
Be sure to review your support guide to death benefits 
for more detail, and keep any receipts or documents related to the death.
Funeral expenses
To ease your financial burdens during this time, funeral expenses are covered under Enhanced Care up to $10,839. Please be sure to keep any receipts for reimbursement.
Grief counselling
Support for grief counselling is available for immediate family members (up to $4,533 per family member). Each counselling session is reimbursable up to $160, or $246 if provided by a registered psychologist. You can choose your counsellor from among registered clinical counsellors, psychiatrists, members of the clergy, Indigenous Elders, and others. Your recovery specialist can help you access your grief counselling benefit.
Lump sum payments
Some family members are eligible for a lump sum payment to help them transition after the loss of a loved one. The amount of the benefit is determined by factors such as age and income of the deceased, and relationship and family status. Talk to your recovery specialist for more information.
