My three-year-old car was classified as not economical to repair.
The claim adjuster guided me through the process professionally,
helpfully and I have received the payment three days after the reached settlement.
The Accident Benefits team in Markham Ontario have been a nightmare to deal with. I have been fighting with them for 3.5 years and now have to take them to court. I have been forced to pay out thousands of dollars in rehab and I was the one who was rear ended. They hired their own doctor to review my claim who said my injuries were not serious and were not as a result of my accident. Do not wait until you need them to find out they are scam artists. Save your money and go elsewhere.
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.
Aviva is pure garbage! It’s just another SCAM! They did not do a fair assessment of 2 seniors who had a car accident. They offered $0 !!!!!!
Aviva is the stingiest car insurance company in Canada. Sure their premiums are generally reasonable which is why they are one of the largest insurance companies, however, as soon as you get into an accident and need treatment they will do anything to avoid paying.
I am a personal injury lawyer and any time I get an Aviva Accident Benefits file they try to designate it as minor injury and only pay out $3.5k for treatment. I have had files where my client had severe PTSD or tears in the shoulder or pre-existing injuries which make it impossible to resolve their accident-related injuries under the $3.5k limit (this should get you out of the Minor Injury Guideline and increase your entitlement to treatment to $65k), and they all get labelled as minor injury claimants.
Never go with Aviva.
