You must exchange particulars (the registration number and details of insurance of the other vehicle) and report the accident to your insurance company using a Form that is available from police posts and insurance companies (General Insurance Association of Singapore Form). If you are not satisfied with the settlement of the claim by the insurance company, you may request the Insurance Ombudsman Bureau to review the claim. However, you must report to the police when the accident results in injury involves a government vehicle (QX or MID number plate) involves a foreign vehicle involves a pedestrian or cyclist (even when no one is injured) Sometimes, you may wish to file a claim against the party who damaged your car. This may arise when your insurance contract does not cover (or does not cover adequately) the damage caused to your car or you may wish to preserve your no claim bonus. You may wish to consult your lawyer for advice. Your lawyer will write to the other party and his insurance company to lodge a claim. He will try to negotiate a settlement to your claim. If no settlement is reached, your lawyer may file a claim in Court to recover your losses. You can see a sample of a claim below.
