Whatever your loss, here are some basic guidelines to help get you through the bike claims process as quickly as possible.
In case someone is injured, always call Emergency 112 straight away
Lodge a police report at the nearest police station (unless you caused the damage, in which case this is not necessary)
- Try to stay calm and focused.
- Take photos of the accident or loss.
- If there are other people involved directly or as witnesses, do try your best to get their names and contact details.
- Do not admit fault or be aggressive with other parties involved.
Advise us of the accident on the same day it occurs. Please call on 2343 5381 or email [email protected].
If it occurs on a weekend, advise us first thing on Monday morning. You can call us at one of our branches, quoting your policy number where possible.
