Kiario 5th Gear October 11, 2010 Share October 11, 2010 (edited) I was involved in an accident where i hit the rear of the car in front of me when the vehicles in front all jam brake while i failed to do so. No hard feelings with the driver in front as I admitted fault and we exchange particulars and I proceed to ask him to claim from my insurance. All this happen in February this year, I later received a lawyer letter from the other party claiming close to $5k, while my own car claim is $3k. Fast forward to now when my insurance is due for renewal, I called up my current insurer and was told my claims still no change at $3k but the 3rd party claim reduced to $3.8k. I was told by my current insurer that they managed to reduce the claim from the other driver after negotiation. My question is all this possible? I am not complaining of course now that the claim amount had been reduced, just curious how come the claim can be reduced by up to $1k+.

Cyberet Neutral Newbie October 11, 2010 Share October 11, 2010 depending on the case, insurer will negociate with the lawyer and maybe send their own surveyors to get a second opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiadaw 6th Gear October 11, 2010 Share October 11, 2010 Chances are, the other party over claim leh! Nowadays, even a pencil line stretch also 4 figures, all inflated like siao. Maybe now, insurance companies finally start to buck up & take action. But seriously, I think claim need to come down by at least 1/2 of the usual claims these day. knock umper only meh, need lawyer meh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
