Which coverage statement about Section 6 - Direct Compensation - Property Damage is incorrect?

• A. The policy must be issued by an Ontario licensed insurer.
• B. The insured collects from their insurer even if they are not entirely at fault for the accident.
• C. The accident is covered if it occurs anywhere in Canada.
• D. It covers damage caused by another vehicle in Ontario.

Answer: (C)

The assertion that the accident is covered if it occurs anywhere in Canada is not entirely accurate. Section 6 - Direct Compensation - Property Damage is specific to the province of Ontario and applies only to accidents that occur within Ontario. The intent of this coverage is to streamline the process of compensation for property damage sustained in accidents involving vehicles registered in Ontario. Therefore, while Ontario's Direct Compensation benefits are robust for accidents within the province, they do not extend to incidents that happen outside Ontario's borders. This context helps to clarify why the other statements regarding the insurer's licensing, the insured’s ability to collect compensation regardless of fault, and the coverage for damage caused by another vehicle within Ontario are indeed accurate.
