Can I cancel a car accident claim in the UK?

15.04.2024

Yes, generally, you can withdraw a car accident claim before your insurance company or the other party's insurer has incurred costs on your behalf. Here are some common reasons you might consider it:

  • Protecting your no-claims bonus: If the accident was minor, and you can cover the repairs yourself, cancelling your claim might save you from higher premiums in the future.
  • Claiming on the other driver's insurance: If it becomes clear the other driver was completely at fault, you might opt to cancel your claim and pursue theirs.
  • Concerns about your case: If you're having doubts about the strength of your claim or feel pressured, you might decide to withdraw and get independent advice.
