Claim taking too long

Hi, I was in an accident on the 15th of August. My car was then assed to determine if it was a write-off or not. It turned out that it was not after a month. They then assed it under the accidental damage cover I have, since then the process has just been very slow and we are in the fourth month. I have been without a car to this point. The other issue is that they have quoted the damages based on second hand parts. Why was this the case? Please finalise my claim as I need my car. Paying for a car I am not driving for four months is a huge pain.

Hello lancelotsehl,

We understand the anxiety you have expressed here.

The ease and speed at which we are able to validate any claim is dependent on the available independent information.

Unfortunately as you are aware, your fateful incident did not include a Third Party nor were there any witness who could confirm the circumstances leading to your loss. As a result we are obliged to make use of alternative methods of confirmation which may be more time consuming as in your case.

Nonetheless, Larry from our Claims Department has confirmed that your claim has been approved and the outcome communicated to you.

Assuring you of our continued best endeavours.

Kind regards,
The PMD Team
