What To Do In Case of A Car Accident

When car owners purchase insurance policy for their vehicle, one aspect of insurance they need to understand fully is the motor insurance claim process in Philippines. While getting claims from your insurance provider can be a long process, knowing the ins and outs of filing for car insurance claims will help you make the procedure faster and avoid common rejected claim pitfalls.

You Must:

  1. Report loss or damage as soon as possible to the Insurance Company.
  2. Take all reasonable steps to safeguard the property loss or damage.
  3. No admission, offer, promise or payment shall be made by or on behalf of the Insured without the consent of the Insurance Company to preserve the rights of action of recovery against the third party that may be legally responsible for the loss or damage.

Here are the insurance claims process in the Philippines:

NOTIFY – the loss or damage to company immediately by telephone, fax, e-mail or letter with full particular details such as nature of loss, date of loss, estimated loss, contact person and telephone number for ocular inspection.

REPORT – in case of theft or other criminal act which may give rise to the loss or damage, the Insured shall give immediate notice to the Police or any authorities and cooperate with company in securing the conviction of the offender.
