Yesterday my house got bang by a motorcycle, causing damage to my gate, autogate component and also to my car. I got to lodge police report but the rider didn't. I believe rider doesn't have license. However, this point didn't mentioned in police report.

The motorcycle got active insurance, and is Third Party Coverage type. Can I make third party claim?

My house also got insurance, so can I claim this insurance as well? In case I unable to claim motorcycle insurance. Pls advice.

Yes you can. but he needs to make police report as well. U can claim againts his motorcycle insurance for third party property damage TPPD.

your house got insurance for fire, thunder kind of stuff i guess. dont think can cover property damage by other party or even your self.

He didn't report it. I wonder why I'm so sueh...
My house got houseowner insurance, which cover damage by third party vehicle. But for small claim (for example RM100), does it require report from adjuster?

Can claim. If you have photos placing the motorcycle at the scene will be much simpler and faster

But that person didn't report, only me. If the rider doesn't have license, can I still make the claim? (report didn't mention who is the rider during accident)

I got take picture as proof, but if I try to claim third party damage claim from motorcycle, do I need police decision? Usually how long it takes?
Within how long duration I should file this claim? Got limit?

Not lodging a police report doesn't absolve the insurer from liability. However, their insured driver not having a license is a problem. Expired license is okay but not having a license at all is a breach of the contract policy and the insurer can reject.

Still, the insurer won't know unless their rider come forward and reveal themselves.

worth a try to claim.
Yes, need decision from police. Bring your proof all to the police.

Will take 3 - 6 months since not clear cut (1 party didn't lodge report)

You can file within 6  years (statute of limitations) and limit is 3 million if i'm not mistaken.

I call the motorcycle insurance,they say
1. Never mind if motorcycle owner didn't report, but I need to go sumpah say it wasn't my fault.
2. Need to find adjuster. I need to pay for it.

I call my car insurance, they say
1. Never mind if motorcycle owner didn't report, only need police decision.

I call my house insurance, they say
1. I can claim my gate damage, but need quotation first.
2. Insurance will appoint their adjuster and cover the cost.

** The police did come and take pics, but didn't ask for those I took. Even when I try to lodge a report, disappointed with their attitude and efficiency. Haiz...
