@sinclairZX81: Yeah, I am planning to claim insurance as the damages are quite bad - can't really afford to fix the damned car now as I just settle a big piece of the installments.
@jaesern: He go and hit the butt of a lorry, kinda tore the front left of the car... Sigh. I don't even want to think bout it.
Just wondering, have anyone of you guys claimed insurance before? What would the processes be? I know that you need to report police but the problem is, my bro didn't jot down the lorry plate number - afraid that it might be hard to report police when we don't even know who he hit. After he go hit the fella's lorry, thankfully the lorry was not damaged and the driver just let my bro go without taking a dime thus my bro kinda left immediately. If we need the lorry fella details then I might have to go strangle my bro now...
Sorry dude, but I think you do need to make a police report in order to make an insurance claim. Better get your brother to jot down the details before he forgets coz maybe needed for police report:
1. Time and date of the incident
2. Place
3. Conditions of road
4. Details of the lorry
5. Any witnesses
6. Briefly explain what happened
7. Sketch before and after accident
8. Any other important information
You gotta tell them this is for insurance claim purposes, and report must be made within 24 hours of incident.
Meanwhile, also contact your insurance company to inform them of this incident. They will send to you the insurance claim form or perhaps you can collect from their office. The form should state what documents and information they need. Good luck.
