Dealing directly with third party insurers? - It is far easier, quicker & less stressful, to use an accident management company

Published 22 December 2020
At Easigo Accident Management company, we often get phone calls, from drivers who had a non fault accident, and have been trying to sort things, directly with the other insurer. Often, this is because they think it makes the claim cheaper; keeping down insurance premiums. The fact of the matter is, that insurance companies are in the business of making money- the recent record profits, are living proof of this.

Typically, we get a call, weeks, sometimes, months after the caller has been trying to sort his claim. He may have been told that their driver has not reported it / has not completed an accident form; or that the insurer will be dealing with it soon. This year, the record delay to-date, is seven months!

Problems also arise when the guilty driver’s insurers contact the client, offering to sort out repairs etc. Some insurers do this automatically, to stop clients calling a non fault  accident management company, to deal with their claim.
Once the non fault driver has accepted the insurer’s promises, problems then arise. Typically, these include; the requirement to use the insurer’s approved repairers- not main agents, for repairs. So-called approved repairers use non genuine and so-called ‘green parts’. ‘Green parts’ is a euphemism for second hand ones!

The insurer will also offer a small, not a like for like courtesy car. Often, you will have to run around, arranging this.
Conversely, if you call a non fault accident management company, like EasiGo Accident Management, they will arrange a suitable, like for like courtesy car, arrange roadside recovery (if required), and allow you to nominate your repairer, or to use main agents.  The free courtesy car will be delivered to your house. You will not be faced with inferior repairs, using second hand, non genuine parts. If your car is on lease or private purchase, the lease company will charge you a substantial fee, if your car is not returned to manufacturer’s specification. By using main agent repairers, you are guaranteed a quality repair.

Finally, this service will cost you nothing- all charges are recovered from the other insurer. You will save a lot of time, expense & stress; which is as it should be.

EasiGo Accident Management operate throughout the UK, and even have a separate Scottish office. They have been registered with the Claims Management Regulator, for over ten years. Whatever insurance cover you have, you will get a far better service for your non fault accident claim, through them.
