Filing your report at a collision reporting centre is just the paperwork step. In Ontario, what happens next — seeing a doctor, notifying your insurer, and starting your accident benefits claim — is what actually determines whether you get the treatment, income support, and care you're entitled to, regardless of who caused the crash.
This applies province-wide across Ontario, not just in Peel Region — the accident benefits system works the same way wherever in Ontario the crash happened.

If anyone is injured, there's a fatality, a suspected criminal offence, or damage to public property, call 911 instead of driving to a reporting centre. For a property-damage-only crash with no injuries, Ontario requires reporting once the damage looks like it could exceed a set dollar threshold, and because police typically don't attend a damage-only crash, you report it yourself at a collision reporting centre, generally within 48 hours if your vehicle is drivable (if it needs a tow, you're taken there directly from the scene). Either way, notify your own insurer separately — that's not the same step as reporting to police.
Brampton's collision reporting centre is at Shoppers World, 499 Main St S, Unit 60F, operated with Peel Regional Police. Hours and exact requirements can change, so confirm current details with Peel Regional Police before you go.
Bring your driver's licence, vehicle ownership (permit), insurance slip (pink card), the vehicle itself, and photos of the damage. It also helps to have the other driver's name, licence number, plate, and insurance details, plus contact information for any witnesses.
Ontario's no-fault insurance system means your own insurer may owe you accident benefits regardless of who caused the crash — this can include medical and physiotherapy treatment, income replacement if you missed work, and attendant care if you need help at home. The specific benefits and limits that apply depend on your policy and your injuries, so it's worth getting a free case review rather than assuming you're not covered.
