MAKING A CLAIM ON YOUR INSURANCE POLICY

If you’re unfortunate enough to suffer a loss or damage and need to report an incident, a team of claims specialists is on-hand to help you every step of the way.

To make your claim as straightforward as possible, it’s important that you report the incident within 48 hours. This will ensure that you avoid any additional excess charges that can apply if your claim is reported outside the 48-hour period stipulated in your policy terms and conditions. Therefore, reducing the stress and the cost of the claim to you.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO MAKE A NEW CLAIM?

Firstly, you’ll need to have your policy reference number to hand which you can find in your policy documentation. Depending on the nature of your new claim, you’ll need to select one of the two following options:

1. Making a new claim notification on your commercial or personal insurance policy

If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, make sure that you’re safe before getting in touch. To make a new claim notification, please call 01244 730010. Phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

During the call you’ll be asked to provide the following details:

1. Your policy reference number
2. Your personal details; name, address and best contact details
3. The date, time and location of the accident (as accurate as possible, including identifying landmarks)
4. Accident circumstance description
5. The third party’s vehicle registration number, insurance details (company & policy number), name, address if possible and best contact details
6. Any details for witnesses; names, best contact details
7. Details of any CCTV that may be available
8. Any details of police involvement, reference or log number, attending officer ID and department (station) dealing with the incident

If you do not have all these details upon your first notification, then don’t worry. You will be given a claim reference number and you can call back later when having the information to hand to complete your report.

2. Making a windscreen or glass claim 

To make notification of windscreen damage whether it’s chipped, cracked or broken glass, please call 0117 3042083.                                                    Phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
