When it comes time to fill the motor insurance claim form, some things need to be considered.
Visit the garage
It is advisable to first call your insurer and then take your car to the nearest network garage for settlement. This form is available with an official dealer or garage or you can download it from the insurance company’s website. Get the document evidence from the garage or you have sent the car for repair and this amount will be included in your insurance policy with proper estimates of the cost.
To file a form of claim
Mention all the details related to the loss of your car. Also, mention the details of the bills to repair the car. There may also be medical bills. If your claim includes medical expenses due to accident injuries, you may be asked to sign the waiver to allow your car insurance company to access your medical records.
See before signing the final settlement
The actual claim amount you expected may be different from what the insurer has agreed to pay. Make sure you have the final amount according to the policy benefits you filled. Some insurers reduce the cost of mortgage, which you should avoid. Also, insurance companies apply their repair rate and not actual garage costs, which increase their loss. Be sure to ask the insurance company representative to explain each line item of the Clame sheet. Keep this note in you for the future reference.
