How quickly should I report my claim?
Legal procedures now make it vital that you report any accident at once. Strict time scales have been set for dealing with claims, in particular those involving bodily injury.
Heavy financial fines may be imposed by the courts if these are not kept to. This may affect your insurer’s ability to mount the best defence on your behalf.
Delay can involve your insurer in higher costs which may go against your driving record. If the delay is extreme, they may refuse to cover you.
