Learn what happens with your car following a road traffic accident

Car repairs following a road traffic accident can be a stressful and inconvenient experience for any driver. From minor fender benders to more severe collisions, accidents can leave your vehicle damaged and in need of professional attention. In this article, we will explore the process of car repairs after a road traffic accident, including the possibility of obtaining a courtesy car and how to navigate the claims process.

Can I Get a Courtesy Car for Repairs?

One of the first questions that often arises after a road traffic accident is whether you’re entitled to a courtesy car while your vehicle is being repaired. The answer depends on a few factors, but rest assured, we’re here to help.

At National Claims, we offer a like-for-like vehicle replacement, ensuring you stay on the road while your car is being repaired. We also make sure your vehicle receives the highest quality repairs at an approved garage. For instance, if you drive a Toyota, we’ll ensure it’s repaired at a garage that specializes in Toyota vehicles, so you can trust your car is in the best hands.

Contacting National Claims Following Your Road Traffic Accident

After addressing the immediate concerns at the accident scene, such as ensuring everyone’s safety and notifying the authorities if necessary, the next step is to start the car repair process. One of the best options is to contact a trusted claims management company like National Claims, which specializes in assisting individuals with road traffic accident claims.

The Claims Process: From Assessment to Car Repairs

Once you’ve contacted National Claims, we will begin the claims process on your behalf. This typically involves several steps, each aimed at ensuring a fair and efficient resolution to your claim.

Assessment and Documentation

First, one of our claims specialists will assess the extent of the damage to your vehicle. We may arrange for a professional inspection or request photographs of the damage to evaluate the repairs required accurately. This assessment is crucial for determining the estimated cost of repairs and ensuring that all necessary work is included.

Courtesy Car Provision

We will assist you in arranging a temporary replacement vehicle. We will coordinate with rental car companies or facilitate the provision of a courtesy car through their network of partners, ensuring that you have a means of transportation while your car is being fixed.
