ACCIDENT MANAGEMENT

Taking care of everything after a road incident.

When accidents occur, we manage every single aspect on your behalf, from First Notification of Loss to vehicle repair, replacement vehicles (including non-fault hire) and legal services.

Our highly skilled and experienced teams are available 24/7/365 at our UK based service centre to provide all the support your drivers need. Our first priority is to ensure their safety; secondly, to get them back on the road again if their vehicle isn’t driveable.

Repair Management

REPAIR
MANAGEMENT

Getting the vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible is crucial to minimising repair and replacement vehicle costs. Our BS10125 certified UK-wide network of vehicle repairers offers a range of high-quality repair options to reduce vehicle off road (VOR) time to an absolute minimum. One-day repair options include SMART repair and mobile repair at the driver’s location or midi repairs through an express pod solution as well as a traditional bodyshop repair service. Our automotive engineers verify that the appropriate repair option is selected, repair costs are accurate and the repair duration is reasonable. Drivers are kept mobile throughout with a suitable replacement vehicle and we offer real-time repair status updates.

Third-Party
Intervention

When an incident occurs and your driver is at fault, our Third Party Intervention team contact the Third Party within 1 hour to offer our repair and replacement vehicle services. This is a key factor in minimising your overall incident costs. We get the third party back on the road in a suitable replacement vehicle whilst our Third Party Claims Management experts operate on your behalf, closely monitoring every process and cost throughout the life of their claim to minimise overall costs.

LEGAL
SERVICES

When your driver is not at fault, our Uninsured Loss Recovery (ULR) experts are relentless in the fair and reasonable pursuit of your losses. This team do not only pursue the straightforward clear-cut cases but will also attempt to recover cases where liability may be in dispute. With all services managed in-house, our ULR and First Notification of Loss (FNOL) teams seamlessly share data using integrated systems. This allows negotiation with third party insurers within hours of a claim being reported.

Then when the vehicle is fixed the customer can either collect it or have it delivered.
