Assess The Circumstances
Assessing the circumstances will give you some idea of what has happened during the concerning incident, and inform you of potential steps to take before a surveyor gets the chance to oversee the situation. You may have watched the damage taking place, you may have witnesses to the incident, or you may even have a CCTV camera or device installed which captured the events. All of this may come in handy when dealing with insurance or communicating with a member of our team.
If the repercussions of an incident on your property are minimal, and the accident has only resulted in cosmetic damage to the garden area or fencing, the claim unfortunately may not be worth pursuing. All Property Claims specialise in cases of significant damage to homes, such as cracked walls and structural damage.
File A Police Report
If the damage is the result of an incident that wasn’t your fault, filing a police report should be one of your first actions, with the authorities able to help you take care of the legal side of things. Be sure to jot down the incident number afterwards. We can help you by making a third-party claim if you have the details of the person who hit you, so don’t hesitate to mention this during consultation.
Take Notes
You will want to note down the important details of an incident involving vehicle damage to your property. These will likely include (if possible) the registration plate of the concerned vehicle, police incident number, make and model of car, as well as the time and date that the event occurred. Keeping a note of these factors will help us in liaison with insurance providers when discussing insurance claims.
