Watch MovieWhy have a Claims App?
The Reason
- In the UK there are over 180,000 road related injuries per year.
- 53% of commercial motor claims are reported by the third party, not the insured.
- The average length of time it takes for a commercial motor claim to be reported is 23 days.
- When an accident occurs people forget what they need to do.
- Car Hire charges can be mysteriously doubled and tripled when insurance is paying for it!
- Basic information isn’t gathered or it’s later found to be incorrect.
- Huge amounts of management time and business disruption occur when accidents happen.
The Solution
- An App on your phone that helps you through an incident.
- Preload information on an App so the basics are captured.
- Systematically capture information using GPS, text and camera.
- As much information as possible is captured quickly and easily.
