If you’ve been involved in a car accident you should report it to your insurer immediately, even if you don’t intend to make a claim yourself and regardless of fault.</p&gt;

Did you know that new legislation now requires your insurer to submit your signed statement within 30 days? If they miss the deadline, they assign fault to you for the accident. This rule applies when someone files a Personal Injury claim.

This is especially important if there is any disagreement over who is at fault. The sooner you tell your insurer, the more time they will have to gather evidence and defend the claim on your behalf.</p>

The other driver may submit a claim for personal injury. In this case, it’s crucial to notify your insurer quickly—they only have 30 days to investigate. If you’re not at fault, you’ll need to submit a signed statement with your account of the incident.
