Collisions involving serious injuries
If there are serious injuries, call 9-1-1 immediately.
When do you need to report a collision?
In Alberta, you must report a collision if anyone is injured or if the combined property damage is more than $5,000. If the estimated damage is under $5,000, there are no injuries and the collision was not a hit-and-run, you do not need to report it.
If you are unsure of the value of damage to your vehicle, the other driver’s vehicle, or any other property involved, you may get a quote for repairs before reporting.
When can you report a collision online?
You can report single vehicle collisions online through the Government of Alberta's Report My Collision portal. The damage amount must be $5,000 or more.
Single vehicle collisions include:
your vehicle struck an animal
your vehicle struck an object (not another vehicle)
your vehicle ran off the road
your parked vehicle was involved in a hit and run with no witnesses or information available
When do you need to report a collision in person?
Collisions that must be reported in person to the police include one or more of the following criteria:
