insurance claiming
well as some of you know i broke my bike slightly, having never claimed before i have some questions
im only TPFT on the bike so i cant claim for that but THB its only about 300 quid damage tops, i have gear cover and personal injury cover, both will become very handy as all my gear is ruined and i cant go back to work for 6 weeks, also im not getting payed for those 6 weeks question is, if i claim on those 2 things what happens to my premium? as i have 2 years no claims do i lose it or dont i as im not claiming for the bike |

Re: insurance claiming
Dont think you'll be able to claim for personal injury as thats usually only if its a PERMANANT injury-eg loss of limb/eyesight etc, that could be worth checking out-i know ours at my work only covers riders for that

Re: insurance claiming
Best answer ring your insurers and ask.
I have a feeling gear cover and pi cover (separates) might not affect your future premiums because they are not vehicle policies. But knowing those slippery *******s it will, or if it doesn't they'll make sure it does. Mock up some future insurance quotes including a claim for the next 3 or 5 years and weigh it all up.

Re: insurance claiming
Assuming the accident was your fault I would agree. I was TPFT when knocked off my 650 a couple of years ago and received compensation for injury (chipped bone in leg, severe abrasion scar) but obviously that was paid for by other parties insurer who was at fault.

Re: insurance claiming
If you claim you will lose your NCB (?about 10% per year)AND your insurance will go up in addition to that because they will add a loading because you have had a blameworthy accident.
Having said that you are obliged to tell them anyway even if you cant claim,because someone else may yet claim against you.You cant remember the accident,and there may have been someone else involved,however marginally who sees a cash cow.EG did you damage a farmers fence when you or your bike left the road?
