    Accident Services terms and conditions

    Accident Services is subject to a signed agreement.

  • FMG’s team of insurance-trained ULR experts understand how best to manage and process uninsured loss recovery claims for your business, capturing all losses with the dual focus of maximising the recovery and accelerating the settlement period. They are committed to pursuing what is rightfully yours. Management information is provided for both ongoing and completed claims.

    This service is available to fleets of all sizes and is charged as a percentage of the amount recovered and includes:

    • Liability assessment to recover losses
    • Acceptance of split liability cases
    • Responsibility for capture and evidencing all losses
    • Management of the end-to-end process
    • Detailed Management Information (MI)

  • In the event of a non-fault accident where the party responsible is known, you’ll receive a like-for-like replacement vehicle. We can offer the option to provide a hire vehicle and pursue the cost directly on your behalf against the insurers of the responsible party.

    Credit Hire helps take the financial burden out of non-fault accidents as no invoice or charge is issued to you helping to protect your business from financial implication and providing your drivers with a like-for-like equivalent vehicle in terms of size, seats and engine capacity.

    Credit Hire can be offered to fleets of all sizes at no additional cost. You will only pay the VAT element of the hire cost through your usual billing arrangement.
