How do I fill in a claim form?

Have you been involved in a collision? Then you must fill in the claim form together with the other party. You do this on the spot, immediately after the accident. That way everything is still fresh in your mind and you can fill in the form correctly. The form has a front and a back. You only need to fill in the front together with the other party. You can also fill in the back of the form at home. Then send the claim form to your insurer. We will explain both sides of the form below.

What should I do at the front of a claim form?

On the front of the claim form you will see the numbers 1 to 15. For each number there is information that you and the other party must fill in. Go through all the steps calmly and fill in everything as completely as possible.

Also clearly discuss with the other party who fills in their details under vehicle A, and who under vehicle B. At number 6, the details of the policyholder are requested. Number 9 asks for the driver's details. For number 9, you should always fill in the details of the driver at the time of the collision. Was your vehicle parked at the time of the collision and no one was present? Then you cannot fill in the driver's details.

In the middle of the form you will see number 12, indicated as "reason". Here you can tick the appropriate box or boxes. This makes it much clearer for the insurance company to assess how the collision happened. At the bottom of the form, at number 14, marked "my comments", both parties can give a brief explanation.

Once all the information has been completed and both parties agree with what is written on the form, the form should be signed by both persons. After signing, the original can be torn off from the reprint so that both parties involved have their own form.

What to do on the back of a claim form?

Completing the back of the claim form is often forgotten by insureds. Yet it is very important for the insurance company that the back side is filled out. Filling out the back side can be done quietly at home. You do not need the other party for this. By filling out the back of the form, it makes the claim form become your form.

A lot of information is requested on the back of the claim form, but not everything is equally important. The most important eight points to be filled in are the following:

  1. Policyholder
  2. Driver
  3. Damage to your motor vehicle
  4. Police
  5. Victims
  6. Circumstances of occurrence
  7. Liability
  8. Date and signature

Please make sure that you fill in all the information covered by these points. For example: The data that fall under policyholder are name, account number, profession, employment/self-employment and right to deduct VAT.

If you have also completed the back of the form, you can send it to your insurance company or insurance agent. They will then be able to deal with your claim.
