Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. Use this document to transmit your claim to your insurance agency. Be complete; add any necessary and useful exhibits. The more thorough you are the more apt you are to be believed and get prompt payment.

1. Make multiple copies. Give one set to the insurance agency. Keep a backup set (agencies are notorious for losing or misplacing paperwork). Keep one set with the transaction file.

2. Remember that getting paid on a claim is a sales situation. If they are “sold” on your credibility, they will generally pay promptly. If not sold, it can be a long and ugly process. As we have said before, you have one chance to make a good first impression. Do your homework; get a complete and thorough file together; send it to them promptly. All of this will increase the odds of a satisfactory result in your favor.

Can you claim bodily injury from your insurance for a car accident in which you were found at fault?

If you had medical coverage, you can.You cannot claim bodily injury against your own policy for yourself because you cannot be liable to yourself. Bodily injury coverage falls under the liability portion of your policy, for injury to others caused by you or the driver of your vehicle. You must carry PIP or MEDPAY for your own injuries.In the UK - the law is based on fault. Namely the driver at fault pays for the injury and vehicle damage to the innocent road user. Motor insurance is compulsory as this pays the liability of the driver at fault. So you cannot claim for bodily injury from your own insurance as you would be claiming against yourself - but if your motor policy was comprehensive you can claim from your own insurer for vehicle damage - subject to an excess. See the related link entitled "car driver injury claims" for a full explanation as to when a car driver can claim and when a car driver is considered liable.
