Insurance claims

[twinkleton]

how long do you get to report a crash to your insurers?
Thanks

[NORMANTHEDOG]

you should do it asap after the accident.

[Brooksy]

As soon as reasonably practible. Delay at your peril!

[twinkleton]

thanks but is there a cut off point where you are no longer able to claim?

[weggiewabbit]

There should be something about this in the documentation you received when you took out your policy, but phone them and ask if you can't find it

[gouldc]

normally ask you to report within 48hours.

the longer you leave it, the more questions I ask!!

There is no real cut-off period (unless it's a personal injury claim, then I think it's 3 years), but obviously the longer you leave it, the more hassle you will have as the insurers will not be able to check all the relevant info properly
