EARLY REPORTING OF MOTOR CLAIMS

This is important as Insurers must respond to certain claims within limited timeframes.

Notwithstanding the importance of having your own vehicle repaired, if they are not notified of new claims quickly they may be at risk of cost penalties which could in turn impact on the total claims cost.

If insurers are notified on the same day or within the first 24 hours of the incident occurring they will be able to handle the claim proactively and ensure that the cost of the claim is fully controlled. This will ensure that the claims experience against your policy record is minimised.
