Hassle Free Vehicle Recovery Services NI and Repairs
Figuring out how to get your damaged vehicle repaired can be daunting after an accident, but we handle that for you. As part of our accident management service, we arrange all vehicle recovery and repairs so you don’t have to coordinate with tow trucks or garages on your own. Our manufacturer-approved engineers and trusted repair specialists operate across Northern Ireland, so we can carry out repairs close to you, wherever you are. We’ll transport your car to a quality garage, or to one you choose if you prefer, and ensure the repairs meet the highest standard.
Throughout the repair process, we keep you updated on progress and work to minimise disruption to your daily life. Because we manage everything, from vehicle recovery services NI wide to dealing with the mechanics, you can focus on yourself and your family, not on chasing updates.
The result? We restore your car to top condition as quickly as possible and you don’t have to lift a finger to arrange it.
Keeping You Mobile with a Replacement Vehicle
Worried about being careless after an accident? Don’t be. We’ll get you a replacement vehicle so you can stay on the road while yours is in the shop. One of Shield’s core services is facilitating like-for-like replacement vehicles for our clients. Whether you drive a small car, a luxury SUV, a taxi, a van, or even a motorbike, we have access to a wide range of vehicles and will provide a comparable replacement that meets your needs.
This means you can continue your daily routine (work commute, school runs, etc.) without interruption. Our team handles all the arrangements and delivery of the courtesy car to you, usually within a day or two. Best of all, if the accident wasn’t your fault, this replacement vehicle comes at no cost to you – the bill is covered by the at-fault party’s insurance. It’s just one more way we make the process easier. We keep you moving forward, even when your own car can’t.
Insurance Claims Assistance and Legal Support
Dealing with insurance paperwork and claims adjusters is often the most stressful part of an accident aftermath. At Shield, we make this process as straightforward as possible. We also ensure that all handling of your claim is compliant with the principles laid out in the Insurance Act 2015, which requires fair and transparent disclosure of all relevant details. This means your case is managed with integrity from start to finish, protecting your rights and ensuring insurers meet their legal obligations.
Our insurance claims assistance NI service is a relief for drivers. We handle all communication and negotiation with the insurance companies on your behalf. Instead of you spending hours on hold or worrying about saying the right thing, our experienced claims handlers take care of it professionally and transparently.
Our team will file the claim, coordinate with the third-party insurer, and push to recover all costs from them. We continuously update you as your case progresses, so you’re never left in the dark. And if at any point a third-party insurance representative tries to contact you directly, you can simply refer them to us, we’ll handle all the tough conversations.
Legal complexities can arise after an accident (for example, if you suffered any injury). Shield Accident Management also offers guidance with legal assistance through our network of solicitors, ensuring you get any medical treatment or legal help you might need without delay. In short, we’ve got your back on both the insurance claims assistance NI and legal fronts, so you can recover with peace of mind.
Protecting Your No-Claims Bonus – The Smart Choice
One of the biggest worries drivers have after an accident is, “Will this affect my insurance?” If you weren’t at fault, the answer with Shield Accident Management is a resounding no. When you let us handle your non-fault accident claim, your no-claims bonus won’t be affected and your own insurance policy remains untouched. We make sure all costs are directed to the at-fault party’s insurer, so your insurer doesn’t have to pay out, which keeps your record clean. Protecting that no-claims discount means your future premiums stay lower and you won’t have to pay any excess out of pocket.
Think about it: going through your own insurance might eventually get your car fixed, but you’d likely have to pay your policy excess upfront and possibly see your premium rise while the claim is sorted. By choosing Shield when you’re not at fault, you avoid paying your excess and prevent any insurance hiccups. It’s a smarter way to handle an accident, you get full support and comprehensive accident management in NI without suffering the financial drawbacks. As we like to say, “When you’re not at fault, choosing a company like Shield protects your no-claims bonus, offering a smart, comprehensive solution for your accident management needs.”
