Show proof of accident and damage

• Take photos of the accident scene

• Write down eye witness accounts of what they saw

• File FIR

All of these can be shown as proof to the insurance company.

File an FIR

File an FIR with the police and take a copy of the FIR to the insurance company. This should be done in cases of accidents and theft.

Contact the insurance company

• Call the insurance agent who helped you get the insurance policy or call the insurance company. You can get the company’s toll-free number on their website.

• It is best to contact the company as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours of the incident.

Fill a Claim Intimation form

The form can be found on the insurance company’s website. For example: LIC India claim intimation form.

If the insurance company does not have a claim intimation form, a Claim Intimation letter can be written. It should have the following information:

• Policy Number

• Name of Insured

• Vehicle Details

• Driver Details

• Description of incident (accident, theft, etc)

• Workshop details

• FIR Details
