How to claim with your car insurance

How to claim with your car insurance

1. Collect all necessary details
If your claim complies with a road accident, collect all necessary details from other drivers. Please fill in the following items ...

• Name
• Street address
• Vehicle registration
• phone number
• Insurance Details

Also, as much as possible, we need to provide automobile insurance companies with much information about accidents. Explain what happened using sketches and include photos taken at the accident scene.

2. Call the insurance company promptly
We encourage you to submit insurance claims to your insurance company as soon as possible. Please make sure you have all the information you need to make a claim before calling. Once you notify the provider, I will complete the claim form and reply. You can also submit it online.

In case you accident, insurer expects to receive notification because it affects risk as driver. Even though you think you are not worth making a claim, please make sure you are discussing the case with your insurance company.

3. If you are not satisfied, you will complain.
If you are unhappy with subscribing to insurance, it is expected that your provider will carefully process your inquiries and be paid.

However, this is not necessarily the case. If you feel that your claim is not being dealt with fairly, please consult your insurance company. A common problem involves your claim being rejected. If your car is being depreciated, the valuation received will be less than your expectation.

4. Talk with the ombudsman
If insurance company's complaint procedure (described in insurance policies) is exhausted and insurance claims are not resolved, please call financial-ombudsman.org.uk or 0300 123 9123 to financial ombudsman service (FOS).

You are usually 6 months since deadlock with an insurance company claiming a complaint. The FOS decision is bound to the company, not to the consumer, so if you wish, you can leave the problem to the court.

5. Ready to shop at update
Even if you are not mistaken for damages, claiming your car insurance may increase your premium.

Even though you have a protected no claim bonus, this does not mean that your cover cost will not increase - protection is discount, not premium.

This means that you need to warn around the update time. If the policy is set to automatic renewal, carefully check the premium. If the premium goes up, switch to a new provider or negotiate with the current provider and consider a better deal.
