Bizarre allegations made on car insurance claim forms

We have discussed the importance of making a complete and honest disclosure on all insurance documentation. This also applies when submitting claims documentation. We have come across some of the strangest comments found on claim forms and thought it worthwhile to share some of the funniest accounts of accidents made.

It is interesting how many of these strange claims also involve references to animals, food and road side distractions!

1. I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.
2. Car had to turn sharper than was necessary owing to an invisible lorry.
3. There were plenty of lookers-on but no witnesses.
4. To avoid a collision I ran into the other car.
5. The other car collided with mine without giving any warning of its intention.
6. I was taking a friend home and keeping two yards from each lamp post which was in a straight line. Unfortunately, there was a bend in the road bringing the right-hand lamp post in line with the other and of course I landed in a ditch.
7. A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
8. I thought the side window was down but it was up, as I found when I put my head through it.
9. Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I haven’t got.
10. I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought.
11. I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
12. I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
