Why Insurance-Ready Photos Matter
Proof of damage: Photos help verify the extent of the accident or breakdown.
Supports your claim: Insurers need visual evidence before approving coverage.
Avoids disputes: Proper documentation reduces chances of blame-shifting.
Cross-border clarity: SG-issued policies may require more detailed proof when the incident occurs in Malaysia.
Step-by-Step: How to Take Insurance-Friendly Photos
Prioritize safety first: Ensure everyone is safe, hazards on, triangle placed when conditions allow.
Wide shots of the scene: Capture multiple angles and include road signs, traffic lights, or toll plazas to show location.
Close-ups of damage: Photograph dents, scratches, broken lights, or tyre damage; include other vehicles if involved.
License plates: Capture the plates of all involved vehicles.
