Car insurance premium after claim

[MrBombastic82]

Hi bros,

Any advice on how much insurance premium will go up after two claims? It’s my second claim this year; the first claim was a minor one (Merc driver wanting to charge $2k for small dent after car door open at car park) so this wiped out my NcD.
just kena a back to front accident after front car jammed brake.. so thinking whether to privately settle or go thru insurance

Thx in advance!

you open door so hard until conti door can have dent?

loading will depend on how much is being claimed. Generally private settlement is the best unless cannot afford.
Drive safe and don't tailgate.

You were the rear vehicle? Is so, 100% liability on you. Better to resolve privately if dmg is not serious.

For the first claim, why did you even allow the Merc driver to claim for a door dent? Should have privately settled.

in the first place, is the dent cause by TS? or TS did the scratch (instead of dent) when parking?

very suspicious to the TS statement

Just go for instalment lor, most insurance companies offer 12 month based on POSB Cards.

First time I hear people claim for this kind of thing. You never take care not to hit other people car when you open your door meh.

although the photo looks slightly blury..
but still can see a "less than 5 cents coin" paint chip off + a few lines of scratches too.

this is more than just open door incident..

2 claims in 1 year. Your premiums will confirm be loaded.

Did the merz driver try to ‘chop’ you when you wanted to settle privately? Because for such relatively minor damage to claim, it’s not worth it at all. If claiming was the only way to prevent kenna chop carrot, then also got to llst.

The good thing is that your claim amounts are not very high so other insurers may still be willing to offer you a reasonable premium. Don’t go to the major players because their premiums are already jacked up from the start.

my advise to you.

just report to your insurer what has happened.
in anyway, you stand a chance to win if you report.
because by not reporting, the implication on you will be very bad.

your insurer will only pay to the merz's repair if only your own insurer is satisfied that the chip is caused by you, that this chip can be caused by opening door.

this is infact, a very hard to debate case.

Premium increase depends a lot on the claims amount also, but rest assured, 30K claims won't increase your premium by 2K.

1K thereabouts tops maybe. They would need you to continue renewing with them so that they can earn back your insurance amount.
