How SGI Determines Collision Responsibility in Saskatchewan

Collision responsibility affects who ultimately bears damage costs and can affect Safe Driver Recognition. The financial result depends on the claim facts, deductible and driver's SDR position rather than one universal post-collision premium increase.

Claim-specific guidance. Coverage, responsibility, repairability, deductibles and vehicle value are separate decisions. Do not infer one from another without the claim facts.

Key points

01SGI uses collision evidence, statements, witnesses and other available information when determining responsibility.

Confirm how this applies to the specific claim with SGI and any extension insurer involved.

02A Saskatchewan driver who is not responsible generally does not bear the full deductible when the responsible party is identified.

Confirm how this applies to the specific claim with SGI and any extension insurer involved.

03Shared responsibility can mean each driver pays the portion of their deductible corresponding to their percentage of responsibility.

Confirm how this applies to the specific claim with SGI and any extension insurer involved.

04A responsible collision can also change the driver's Safe Driver Recognition position.

Confirm how this applies to the specific claim with SGI and any extension insurer involved.

Responsibility can change the deductible result

When another identifiable Saskatchewan driver is responsible, that party's insurance can pay the damage including the deductible. With shared responsibility, a driver can bear only the corresponding share of the deductible. The SDR consequence is a separate driver-record question.
