Fill out the claim form

The back of the accident report form is often overlooked. After all, you fill out the front right there at the scene, but you can fill out the back at home. After the shock of an accident and the rush of filling out the form on the spot, people often forget that the back still needs to be filled out.

What is written on the back of an accident report form?

The back of the accident report form asks for a lot of information, but not all of it is equally important. The eight most important items that must be filled out are as follows:

  1. Policyholder
  2. Director
  3. Damage to Your Motor Vehicle
  4. Police
  5. Victims
  6. Circumstances at the Time of the Incident
  7. Liability
  8. Date and Signature

For each section, you’ll need to fill out several questions. For example, under “Policyholder,” you’ll need to enter not only your name but also your occupation, whether you’re an employee or self-employed, your bank account number, and your eligibility for aVAT deduction. So always double-check that you’ve filled in all the requested information correctly. A properly completed claim form ensures that your claim can be processed more quickly. Have you already filled out the form completely? Then you can send it to your insurance agent or insurance company. They will handle the claim and keep you informed of its status.
