For vehicle claims:

To make the claims process easier, please make sure you get the following information

Name, address and phone number of all persons involved
Registration number of all vehicles involved, including the year, make, model and colour of the vehicles involved.
Name, address and phone number of any witnesses
It is also a good idea if possible to get the license number of the persons involved
The time, date and location of the incident, as well as the direction any vehicles were traveling in
How the incident occurred

For house claims:

It is a good idea to write down the time, date, and any other information you can about the claim when it happens. Claims can be a traumatic experience and this can make it hard to remember specific details, which may be necessary in lodging the claim.
Please remember it is your duty to minimise any damage to your premises should an incident occur. This may include calling a repairer to make temporary repairs. If this is necessary, it is a good idea to take as many photos as you can to outline the extent of the damage before repairs are commenced.
