    What is an Accident Management Company?

    Accident management companies specialise in supporting people who have had a road traffic accident and were not at fault. The objective of accident management is to reduce the stress, inconvenience, and complexities of making a non-fault claim after an accident.

    We act as a liaison between all involved parties, including insurance companies, repair garages, and legal entities. As a driver who was not at fault, you are entitled to a range of comprehensive accident management services, at no cost to you.

    The better non-fault claim alternative to your own insurance

    Some people are under the impression that contacting their insurance company immediately after a non-fault accident is essential. However, when comparing the two available options, Accident Management is the more beneficial choice.

    Why is there no cost for Accident Management?

    One of the key advantages to using an Accident Management Company is that there are no direct costs to the non-fault driver.

    The reasons for this are:

    We claim all costs from the third-party driver’s insurance policy

    All of the costs incurred as a result of the accident are billed to the insurer and policy of the driver who was at fault for the accident. This includes examples such as the hire vehicle and repair costs.

    We don’t claim off your own insurance policy

    Unlike your insurance company, we don’t claim against your own policy after a non-fault accident. This means there’s no excess to pay when claiming.

    Why people choose an Accident Management Company

    People choose accident management companies because they are the most beneficial option after a non-fault accident.

    When involved in such an accident, drivers have two choices: make a non-fault claim through their own insurance company or through an accident management company.

    Using their own insurance to claim could negatively impact them.

    That’s where accident management companies step in, providing a fair, more just solution for those involved in non-fault accidents.

    • Even though the driver is not at fault, the claim is initially processed against their own insurance policy. This can impact their No Claims Bonus & next insurance renewal.
    • The driver is usually required to pay their own policy excess to claim.
    • The courtesy car provided isn’t comparable to their own vehicle and isn’t guaranteed.
    • The ‘insurer-approved’ accident repairs often don’t meet expectation, prioritising cost over authenticity.

    Understanding the process with an Accident Management Company

    Get to know how accident management streamlines the process after an accident. An accident management company takes a direct approach, handling claims against the at-fault driver’s insurance, which can be more beneficial than initiating a claim against your own policy just to start a non-fault claim.

    From the initial report of the accident to the final resolution of your claim, we guide you through each phase, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. Our process is designed to handle everything for you.

    First steps and starting a claim

    The first steps that you take are important. They can dictate how the rest of the claim process will unfold.

    • Safety: Check for injuries. With any injuries, it’s advisable to contact emergency services.
    • Evidence: It’s crucial to stay calm and gather all necessary information and evidence.
    • Liability: After ensuring everyone’s safety, assess and confirm that the accident was not your fault.
    • Contact: Reach out to Auto Claims Assist to begin your non-fault claim.
    • Initiation: We'll initiate your claim by recording all of the accident details. A dedicated claims handler will then be assigned to you, managing your claim throughout the process.
    Recovering you at the roadside

    If you are stuck at the roadside after the accident, we will provide accident recovery, at no cost to you.

    • Dispatch the recovery team: Our recovery team will dispatch without delay and arrive at your location.
    • Securing your vehicle: Their first task is to safely secure your vehicle, ready for transfer.
    • Liability: After ensuring everyone’s safety, assess and confirm that the accident was not your fault.
    • Accident scene clean-up: Our team will clean the accident site, collecting any vehicle parts and clearing debris.
    • Storing your vehicle: We will tow your vehicle to the nearest secure facility. Storing it safely until it’s time for repair or salvage (depending on the vehicle’s condition).
    A like-for-like replacement

    Your immediate worry might be, “I’m stuck without a car!”. That’s where our vehicle replacement service comes in.

    • Like-for-like hire vehicle: We’ll provide you with a car that is a similar specification to your current vehicle. You shouldn’t go without.
    • Delivering to your door: We aim to deliver the replacement vehicle directly to your door within 24 hours of you contacting us.
    • Replacement duration: The hire vehicle is yours to use for the duration of your claim, while your own vehicle is unroadworthy or in for repair.
    • End of claim collection: At the end of the claim, with you back on the road, we’ll collect the replacement directly from you.
    Repairing or replacing your vehicle

    Our focus after the accident is to arrange the repair of your damaged vehicle or replacement of your written-off vehicle.

    • Nationwide repair network: Our network of 400+ repair garages offer local repairs that bypass constraints of busy schedules and long wait times.
    • Accredited repairs: Our repair network is BSI Kitemark Accredited. Repairs use only NEW, manufacturer-approved paints and parts.
    • Valuation settlement: If your vehicle is written off, we fight for a fair pre-accident market valuation and claim settlement.
    • Transparent process: Your claims handler will keep you fully up-to-date about your repair or write-off valuation.
    Concluding your non-fault claim

    Your dedicated claims handler will provide guidance and support from the beginning, ensuring a smooth journey all the way to the successful conclusion of your claim.

    • Claiming back the costs: We claim all of the costs back from the third-party insurer. There’s no cost for you.
    • Fighting for liability: Liability is an important part of your non-fault claim. We fight for non-fault liability throughout the process.
