  2. Limit the damageTake reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Your policy terms may require you to limit the consequences of a loss.
  3. Document everythingTake photos of the damage, both of the whole scene and the details. If possible, record the damage before starting repairs or removing damaged items.
  4. Notify the relevant servicesReport theft or burglary to the police. If anyone is injured, call for help. If there is a flood, inform the building management or property manager.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

The answers below are general. The details depend on your policy terms and the type of event, so we look at every case individually.

How long do I have to report a claim?

It depends on the type of insurance and the general terms and conditions. In some cases there is very little time. Theft or burglary must be reported to the police without delay, as the policy requires. Don't put off contacting us. We will help you work out which deadlines apply to you.

What if I disagree with the insurer's decision?

You can file a complaint and set out the reasons why the case should be reconsidered. We will help you analyse the decision, prepare your arguments and gather the documents. If there is a dispute, you can also turn to the Financial Ombudsman (Rzecznik Finansowy).

Am I entitled to a replacement car from the at-fault driver's OC insurance?

You can claim the cost of hiring a replacement car if it was justified and necessary during the repair or while your car could not be used.
