Filing a claim is a two-part process. Both the policyholder and the insurance provider must do their part. When you buy with BuyAnyInsurance, all you need to do is contact our car insurance experts at 01 488 277 who will be happy to help you
File a police report
The first thing you should do after an accident is to immediately call the police. You need to have a police report attached to your claim, so it's best to get the authorities involved as early as possible. The police report gives a clear and unbiased account of the collision and can go heavily in your favor during the claims process.
Take photographs
If you aren't heavily injured and have taken care of your co-passengers, you should take photographs that prove to be evidence of the damage to your car. It would help if you also took photographs of your surroundings to map out the collision's situation.
Inform your car insurer or call BuyAnyInsurance
Having your insurance provider in the loop is also imperative because they can help you collect information about the claim. They can advise which documents and evidence they need so you can arrange them accordingly.
Don’t accept any settlement
Do not, under any circumstances, accept an offer from any party or sign any waivers without consulting your lawyer or your insurance provider. There are chances you might be given a lower settlement than you deserve.
Save all receipts and documents
When you submit your claim with the insurance provider, ensure you have all the receipts, from towing to repair to medical expenses. All the receipts and documents are crucial to determine the amount of money you paid and what needs to be compensated, so keep them safe.
