What to do if you have an accident:
- If there are other people involved in the accident, check that they are ok and call 999 if anyone requires emergency assistance.
- If safe to do so, make sure the scene of the accident is safe for other road users. Turn on your hazard lights to warn other road-users and if safe, try to remove any debris from the road.
- Inform the police immediately if anyone has left the scene, as it is classed as an offence if you do not stop after an accident
- Never admit liability, take the blame or offer compensation to other parties at the scene of an accident as without all the necessary facts, it could affect your insurance claim
Make sure you have the following information before you leave the accident scene:
- Date, time and location of the incident
- Details of the other party - name/address/contact telephone number/vehicle registration/insurance details
- Name and contact details of any witnesses
- Police details/crime reference number (if applicable)
- Any other information that could prove to be helpful during the claims process, such as a photograph of the scene, or details of the road/driving conditions

Important
- Even if your bike isn't damaged and you are not injured, you still need to let us know about your accident. If something becomes apparent at a later date and you have not informed us at the time of the accident, your claim may be affected.
- If you are a motorcyclist or pillion and have sustained injury as a result of an accident, ensure you get your injuries checked out by a doctor as soon as possible and be prepared to get a copy of your medical records as we may need to view them to process your claim.
- Call us on 0344 800 0988 BEFORE you have any repairs made on your bike following an accident. We need to assess the damage and determine the best way to proceed.

Other Information
No Claims Discount (NCD):
- When making a claim, your no-claims discount (NCD) may be affected. Your NCD could be re-instated if the incident in question is not your fault, and all costs are recovered by your insurer.
Excess:
- Details of your excess in the event of a claim will be in your policy schedule. This is an amount you agreed to pay when you took out your policy, as a contribution to the cost of the claim.
- Your excess must be paid even if you weren't to blame for the incident, but you may be able to reclaim this amount, dependent on the circumstances of the claim - your claims handler will advise you on this.
