Insurance
Claim rights, bad faith protections, diminished value claims, and what Canadian insurers must cover by law.
Available Loopholes
Each entry below is a plain-English guide to a specific Canadian legal right, rule, or workaround — including the exact laws and regulations that back it up.
Lost Life Insurance Policy Search — Use OLHI Help to Track Down Forgotten Coverage
Many Canadians never claim life insurance because the family cannot identify the insurer or policy.
OLHI Complaint Escalation — Take a Life or Health Insurance Dispute to an Independent Ombudservice
If a life or health insurer rejects your complaint or claim appeal, you may be able to escalate to the OmbudService for Life and Health Insurance (OLHI), a free and independent dispute resolution service.
Auto Insurance Rate Dispute & Arbitration
Most Canadians accept auto insurance rate increases or claim settlement offers without knowing they have formal dispute mechanisms available — including Ontario's FSRA complaint process, BC's Civil Resolution Tribunal for ICBC disputes, and the free national General Insurance OmbudService — that regularly result in reduced premiums or increased settlements.
Bad Faith Insurance Claims — Sue Your Insurer for More Than Your Policy
When a Canadian insurer unreasonably denies, delays, or underpays a valid claim, you may be entitled to damages beyond your policy limits — including aggravated and punitive damages — through a bad faith lawsuit.
Diminished Value Claims After a Not-At-Fault Accident
After a not-at-fault accident, your vehicle loses resale value even after repairs.
Statutory Accident Benefits — Claim No-Fault Compensation After Any Car Accident in Ontario
Ontario's Statutory Accident Benefits (SABS) provide no-fault compensation for medical treatment, income replacement, and caregiving expenses after any car accident — regardless of who was at fault.
Travel Medical Insurance — Dispute a Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion on a Claim
Travel insurance claims are frequently denied on 'pre-existing condition' grounds — but the definition is strictly interpreted and many denials are wrongly applied, especially for stable chronic conditions.
