‘White Friday’ causes huge rise in insurance claims – but is this really necessary?
The winter weather, which hit the majority of the UK last Friday 18th January, brought good news to many – with over 5,000 schools reported to have closed, children headed to their local parks, and surrounding fields for fun and games in the snow! For a large number of people though, who were unable to stay at home and attempted the trip to work, the weather meant hazardous driving conditions with the unfortunate result being an increase in car insurance claims.
Leading car paintwork repairers ChipsAway would argue though that not all of these claims were actually necessary and many people could in fact potentially save a lot of money by organising the repair themselves through a company such as ChipsAway, removing the need to involve their insurance company.
