Making a claim
Let us know about the claim as soon as possible
Help us handle your clients' claims quickly by providing as much information as you can. If possible, include third-party details, especially their phone number. After that, your clients' personal claims managers will take care of everything.
Speeding up the claims process
Early notification of an incident is really important - you or your client should contact us as soon as an accident or incident has occurred. Please provide as much detail as possible; for example contact details for any other impacted parties, witnesses, photos, diagrams, videos and position of CCTV cameras.
For more information on the importance of early notification for commercial motor incidents, watch our video below.
Once you've made your claim, keep your client's personal claims manager's direct number handy, to save time if you have a query later on.
