Speaking To Auto Claims Assist

Why call Auto Claims Assist FIRST after a non-fault accident?

There are 2 options for non-fault drivers after an accident

  • To call an Accident Management Company and make a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy.
  • To call their own insurance and make a claim, initially against their own policy, before continuing to claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy.

The difference is: With an accident management company, like Auto Claims Assist, we avoid your own insurance policy; leaving it unaffected.

Make a non-fault claim

Some people’s initial reaction is to call their own insurer…

The first instinct for many people after a non-fault accident is to contact their own insurance company. It’s a natural reaction – ‘accidents’ and ‘insurance’ are closely connected. However, this isn’t always the most beneficial course of action for non-fault drivers.

Your insurer will claim against your own policy…

When you contact your own insurer first and make a non-fault claim through them, they’ll initiate the claim against your own policy. They do this because, at this point, liability has not yet been officially determined. So, essentially, it’s a safeguard for them in the event if the accident turns out to be your fault. But this isn’t fair for you because the accident wasn’t your fault.

Claiming on your own policy causes risk…

When your insurer claims against your own policy, they view it as a claim regardless of who’s at fault. This unnecessarily exposes you to financial risk and can affect your insurance policy.

Your own insurance policy isn't intended for non-fault accidents...

When it comes to insurance and road traffic accidents:

  • Your own insurance policy is in place for if you are at fault in an incident.
  • Whereas, if the incident was not your fault, the other driver’s insurance policy in place to cover your losses.

Ideally, you should only contact your own insurance company if an accident was your fault. If an accident wasn’t your fault, your most beneficial option is to claim through an accident management company.

What your insurer may not tell you..

If you contact your own insurance company first and start a non-fault claim through them:

  • You’re actually making a claim on your own insurance policy
  • They’ll likely require you to pay your own policy excess
  • Your No Claims Bonus (NCB) might be reduced or removed completely
  • This ‘pending claim’ might increase your next insurance premium if your renewal is due soon
  • You won’t receive a temporary vehicle comparable to your own while your car is off the road
  • You aren’t guaranteed a temporary replacement for the full duration yours is off the road
  • The ‘insurer-approved’ repair isn’t guaranteed to use manufacturer-approved parts or paint
  • An ‘insurer-approved repair’ may void your vehicle's manufacturer’s warranty (if applicable)
  • If your vehicle is written off, you may not receive a fair total loss valuation

Instead, Auto Claims Assist is the most beneficial option...
