  • The vehicle identification number (VIN), year, make, model and license number of the other vehicles involved.
  • Details of the accident, such as, the date, time, location and weather conditions at the time.
  • If you took photos at the scene of the accident, let your Claim Professional know after they contact you.

What to do in case of an accident or theft

  • Prevent further loss or damage and ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.
  • Inform the police if your car is stolen or vandalized, or if required by law.
