Emitchan 1st Gear December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 Hi, My parked car was involved in a hit&run accident and was captured by my dashboard cam, therefore I have submitted to the TP for investigation and left my car unrepaired. I have received the closure of the investigation from the TP with a letter stating the vehicle was charged. I went on to call my insurer and asked whether can i proceed with the repair of the car damages, their answer is you cant UNLESS the other party makes a report to his insurer first, and even if the 3rd party makes a report to his insurer now his insurer may not be paying for the damages because its more than 24 hours - it will depends on the insurer T&Cs, to share its more than 2 months. So my question is - If the 3rd party decides not to make a report, can i still claim? Secondly, if he makes a report to his insurer and his insurer does not want to be involve, does it means it will be a lawsuit? Thirdly, it is a commercial van that hit my car, with the license plate am i able to find out which company owns this van? Troubled. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had intended to claim, you should have reported the incident to your insurer within 24 hours. More than 2 months, I think the insurer can don't help you with the claim.

Emitchan 1st Gear December 14, 2016 Author Share December 14, 2016 Within 24 hours or nxt working day, you did not report to ur insurer so your insurer is using this thingy to like sort of delay ur claim? no sir, i reported to my insurer within 24 mins attached with a police report becos hit and run. but its the other party who did not report and even with the completion of the police investigation, i am still unable to repair becos the other party still have not reported to his insurer. does that means i am only providing the video for TP to charge the driver - and the driver can pay the summon and does not need to report to his own insurer and I will never get to repair my car claiming from him?

Luckcent 4th Gear December 15, 2016 Share December 15, 2016 If the other party did not report to his insurance company and your insurance, say cannot claim, then what is the point of having to buy insurance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going to 3rd party claim WS since you're doing 3rd party claim with the Police investigation conclusion. Maybe 3rd party claim WS will take up the case as they'll sue and claim back from that company or the driver. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter whether the other party made report to his insurer or not. He will be fully liable if he didn't make report. His insurer cannot refuse to be involve unless the other driver is proven to be drink driving, driving without valid road tax or driving license etc. My car was rear-ended by another car about 2 months ago. I was given 3 choices when making accident report 1) Claim own damage 2) Claim 3rd party. 3) Claim own damage with recovery Option 1, no need to explain. Option 2, workshop will file 3rd party claim to the other parties insurance. It will take about 2 weeks for the approval from the other side. Before that no repair can be done. I choose option 3, I claimed my own insurance first and go ahead with the repair. I need to pay the excess to the workshop upfront first and my insurance company will cover the remaining cost of repair. They will then follow up with the other insurance company after the repair. After repair, workshop will follow up to help me to claim the uninsured losses (excess paid upfront and loss of use while car in workshop etc) from the other insurance company. Was told that the third party recovery will take about 4 months to complete. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought about it, self-claim so that my insurer will try to claim back from 3rd party insurer so to recoup their loss. Is this the best option? Which means I have to upfront pay the excess first, but I already have the police letter and video to showcase the incident is entirely not my fault. Another question, because the 3rd party did not make a report to his insurer, his insurer can now default him and not cover him at all? Does that means I cannot claim back too?

You may want to check with your insurer what happen if you claim your own insurance first but the other party insurer repudiate liability due to non reporting of the accident. Worst case, 1) Your insurer might not be able to recover the repair cost resulted in claiming totally on your insurance. 2) Your NCD affected and renewal premium increase due to claim (will they waive due to not your fault?) 3) Your excess cannot get back.

Victor68 Turbocharged December 15, 2016 Share December 15, 2016 i thought this is quite standard practice. you try to obtain particukars, otherwise proceed to make police report and send car to Vicom for inspeactiin. then claim from your insurance. another easier way is through your workshop. not?
