I’ve been in a car accident. How do I start a claim?

26.04.2024

Being in a car accident is stressful enough, and figuring out how to claim compensation can feel overwhelming. Here's what to do:

  • Gather evidence at the scene: If possible, take photos, get witness details, and exchange information with the other driver (name, insurance details, etc.)
  • Seek medical attention (even for minor injuries): This creates a record important for your claim.
  • Report the accident to your insurer: Do this promptly, even if you're not sure about making a claim.
  • Consider getting expert help: A claims company like "it happens" can handle everything on your behalf, from gathering evidence to negotiating with the insurers.
  • Don't rush to accept any offers: The first offer is often low. Get advice before agreeing to a settlement.

How can "it happens" make the process easier?

  • We build a strong case for you: This maximises your chances of getting fair compensation.
  • We deal with the insurers: So you don't have to worry about complex paperwork and legal jargon.
  • We fight for the best outcome: We won't let you be pressured into an unfair settlement.

Important: There are typically time limits for making a claim, so don't delay in getting started.
