What happens if the other driver disputes the accident circumstances?

When representing you we will do our very best to persuade the other driver, or their insurer, that the accident was their fault, so long as the evidence or circumstances support this. This is done by presenting them with all the evidence that you have provided us with and that we have gathered.

We will always act to defend your position, but if the evidence does not fully support either drivers’ version of the incident, everybody involved may have to take some responsibility. In this instance we will negotiate the best possible settlement with the other driver.

We will notify you of your renewal via email at least 21 days before your policy is due for renewal and your renewal invitation will appear in your customer portal.
