FAQ's
- I've had a car accident, I'm insured, what do I do now?
- Can I choose my car insurance repair provider?
- What is excess and how does it affect my claim?
- Who pays to have my vehicle towed?
- I've had a car accident, I'm not insured, what do I do now?
After gathering information from the other driver and from witnesses, you need to take pictures and call the police to report the accident. The next step is to call your insurance provider at the earliest opportunity.
All major insurance companies now allow you to choose your preferred collision repairer, but you may need to ask the question to avoid being overly guided by the customer service operator.
You will be required to make a report of the accident giving details regarding accident location and time, any other involved parties, and the names of any witnesses. Next you can call your preferred insurance repairer to organise for the vehicle to be towed if needed.
Most comprehensive insurance policies in Australia now feature a ‘choice of repairer’. Be sure to ask the question at the time of renewing your insurance / making your claim, and depending on who you nominate, you may be able to get faster, conveniently located and specialised repairs.
Excess refers to the gap between the cost of fixing your damaged vehicle and the amount your insurer will contribute to the repairs. You must personally pay this sum if you are responsible for the accident or cannot identify the liable party.
Excess also applies to claims for nature inflicted accidents such as hail and flood damage. Excess must be paid or waived before a vehicle is eligible to leave the panel shop.
Insurance companies generally cover the cost of towing your vehicle if it has been involved in an accident. To organise vehicle towing, you can phone your insurer, your preferred smash repairer, or the towing company directly. Here at Byron Bay Smash Repairs, we provide a 24 hour, 7 day towing service. We are just a phone call away.
- When you're not at fault
You’ll need to send the driver at fault a quote from your smash repairer, which itemises the estimated cost of repair. In the event that they have insurance, they’ll supply this quote to their insurer. It’s likely that at this point you’ll be working with their insurance company towards any compensation. - When you're at fault
Included in your car registration is Compulsory Third party Insurance (CTP). CTP covers your liability, including the liability of other drivers in your vehicle, for injuries caused to others in a motor vehicle accident. CTP doesn’t, however, cover you for damage, either sustained to your vehicle or to another person’s vehicle or property.
You may be required to pay the costs for damage sustained to the other person’s vehicle or property, which can also include covering towing fees or a hire car. It’s important to know your legal rights when someone makes a claim against you, otherwise, you might not have the know-how to dispute a claim that you believe to be unfair.
