If you are in a motor accident.
- Obtain names and addresses of the other parties involved as well as all witnesses.
- Report the accident to the Police within 24 hours.
- If your vehicle is disabled as a result of an accident and your insurance cover is “Comprehensive”, arrange for its removal to a safe place, for its protection.
- Do not sign an admission of liability until you have consulted us.
- Advise us at the earliest possible opportunity. Produce to the company your driver’s licence or the licence of the driver at the time of the accident.
- If your insurance cover is “comprehensive”, request your garage to forward promptly to us a detailed estimate of the cost of repairs. We will then arrange for an examination of the vehicle and, once satisfied, we’ll be in a position to offer you maximum assistance which, after all, is what you have paid for.
