🚗 The Smarter Way to Handle a Not-at-Fault Accident — Without Calling Your Insurer

When you’re involved in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, your first instinct might be to call your insurance company.
But in many cases, that decision can make things more complicated — and more expensive.

At Direct Claims Melbourne, we’ve seen countless drivers face unnecessary excess fees, premium increases, and repair delays simply because they went through their own insurer.

⚠️ What Happens When You Claim Through Your Insurer

When you lodge a claim through your insurer, they often:

• Pay for your repairs first

• Then chase reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurer

During this process, your claim is still recorded under your policy, even though you weren’t at fault.
That record can lead to higher premiums later — and you may also have to pay your excess upfront.

✅ Why Choose Direct Claims Instead

When you choose Direct Claims Melbourne, you skip the insurer middleman entirely.
We handle everything directly with the at-fault party’s insurer, so your policy stays untouched and your claim stress-free.

Here’s the difference:

💰 No Excess

You don’t pay a cent — we recover all costs directly from the at-fault driver’s insurer.

📈 No Premium Increase

Since your insurer isn’t involved, your record remains clean and your future premiums stay low.
