Motor accident - file your claim directly

If you are involved in a motor accident and wish to make a claim, you should report it directly to the insurance company, either your own or the insurer of the other vehicle.

Do not ask the workshop to handle the claim for you, as some workshop are involved in a racket and get their lawyer to file an inflated claim for you.

As you have already signed some papers to authorise the workshop and their lawyer to act for you, you are party to the fraud. If the insurer who is paying the claim challenge the claim in court, you may be liable for the legal fee, if you lose the case.

Avoid getting into this type of complication.
