What you should do
- Contact us before you submit this form if anything is unclear.
- Complete every relevant field fully and truthfully, with as much detail as you can.
- Be ready to provide a copy of your vehicle registration certificate, the driver’s licence, and any other information about the collision.
- If you are comprehensively insured, lodge a claim with your own insurer marked “Report Only”. This protects your rights and will not affect your no-claim bonus unless a claim is actually made.
- Refer any communication from the other party or their insurer to us. Please do not deal with them directly.
What we will do
- Arrange for your vehicle to be assessed by qualified assessors.
- Pursue your claim with the party at fault or their insurer, and keep you informed of its progress.
- Deal with the insurers, repairers and other parties on your behalf so you are not chasing them yourself.
Authority
I authorise CAMS Cover to act on my behalf in recovering the losses arising from the collision described in this form, and to:
- do what is reasonably necessary to conduct the recovery, including negotiating and settling the claim;
- correspond and negotiate with the party at fault, their insurer, my insurer, repairers, assessors and other service providers on my behalf;
- obtain and exchange information relevant to the claim with those parties;
- arrange assessment and repair of my vehicle, and arrange a replacement hire vehicle where I am eligible for one.
I confirm the information I have provided is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand I may withdraw this authority at any time by notifying CAMS Cover in writing.
