How to follow the legal procedure in case of an accident involving death, personal injury or property damage to a third person?

• Arrange to move the injured person to hospital for treatment and inform the police and insurer immediately quoting the Policy number and Registration number of the vehicle, obtain the names and addresses of the eyewitnesses involved.
• If any damage is caused to the property of any third party due to an accident, inform the police immediately.
• Also inform the insurers describing the nature of loss/ damages. Do not accept any responsibility for the accident or promise any compensation to any third party involved in the accident.
• Take proper defence action in case of police prosecution and keep the insurance company informed of the progress in the case.
• In case of any notice of claim from the Third Party, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal or a Court of Law, send the same to the Insurers forthwith unanswered. Also send all notices, summons, etc. received by you to the company for attention. They will attend to all on your behalf.
• Send the claim form duly completed together with the Driving License and RC book for verification.
