Motor Insurance Claim Query

    I had an accident in March of this year involving two other cars
    Car1 Mr. x
    Car2 Ms Y
    Car3 Me

    · basically car in front of me ploughed into car in front of her (A lot of Damage) and I couldn’t get stopped and hit her (Slight Damage)
    · I reported accident to ensure I wasn’t held liable for all 3 cars and all agreed with story above
    · I’m told I am responsible for damage to her rear but not front damage which I am ok with
    Now my issue is that she hasn’t (Car2) yet claimed against anyone and my car is up for renewal and they have reduced my no claims bonus because it’s an outstanding claim

    my insurer tells me I have to claim on last year’s policy and not my new one which would have giving me 5 years claims free and allowed me to protect my no claims bonus


    They say this is how all policies work but haven’t shown me where it says that,

    Are they right???

    You will have to claim on the policy that was in force at the time of the accident. You can't get no claims on renewal and have that retrospectively protect your no claims if you didn't have that at the time of the accident.

    It wouldn't make sense if it did because everyone renewing with a claim pending would take out the protection and render it pointless.
