Information you need to provide
You'll be asked to provide the following information as part of your claim:
Personal details

Incident details

Describe what happened and include photographs of the cause of the damage and the surrounding area to help identify the exact location. You must also confirm or deny any previous knowledge of the defect.
If you believe the cause of your injury is still a risk you must report this separately:
Description of damage and repairs needed
Tell us what damage was sustained and how exactly it was caused. Photographs of the damage should be provided along with a full copy of the invoice for repairs, or two estimates if they have not yet been carried out.
If the damage is to a relatively new tyre please provide a copy of the original receipt or invoice, or we may have to make a deduction for wear and tear if we subsequently accept responsibility.

You must include a copy of your MOT certificate if the car is over 3 years old, including any advisory notice at the time of the test. We’ll also need a copy of the most recent service invoice or schedule.
We’ll need to see proof that the driver of the vehicle was correctly insured at the time of the incident.
