Our customer complaint resolution process outlines the steps to ensure that your escalation is handled as efficiently and fairly as possible.
Step 1: Ask for Management review.
Generally, most concerns can be resolved promptly by speaking with your insurance agent or your claims adjuster. If you are not satisfied after speaking with your insurance agent or your claims adjuster, please ask to speak with a manager.
For policy, premiums, insurance coverage or claims inquiries, please contact us.
Step 2: Contact BCAA Insurance Corporation's Ombudsperson.
If you are still not satisfied after review by management, you may choose to contact our Ombudsperson. They can help with complaints regarding BCAA Insurance Corporation products and services (i.e., Home, Recreational Vehicle, Travel, Small Business and Travel Accident Insurance).
Our Ombudsperson is responsible for overseeing the complaint handling process and ensuring that your complaint is addressed.
