Can I cancel an accident claim in the UK?

15.04.2024

Usually, you can cancel an accident claim, but it's best to do it before your insurance company or the other driver's insurer has started idling costs. Here's why you might consider cancelling:

  • Protecting your no-claims bonus: If the accident was minor and you can afford to cover the repairs yourself, withdrawing the claim could mean lower premiums in the future.
  • Claiming against the other driver: If you're sure the accident wasn't your fault, you could potentially cancel your claim and pursue theirs instead.
  • Doubts about your case: If you're having second thoughts about your claim's strength or feel pushed into it, you have the right to back out.
