Assessing Liability
We review the accident details
In order for us to process a non-fault claim on your behalf, we must ensure that the circumstances and evidence support your non-fault claim. An in-depth, expert review of the accident details by our team ensures that no stone is left unturned.
Once we have determined liability
The result of our review will provide a clear route and strategy for your non fault claim.
If we’re unable to determine liability
If we can’t determine non-fault liability, we may ask you to gather more information and evidence, if possible. However, to process a non-fault claim, we must demonstrate non-fault liability to the other driver’s insurance company.
If you have any questions about liability, call us now on 0330 128 1407. One of our New Claims team will be able to provide information and insight into non-fault liability. You can also start your claim online now
