Step-by-Step Guide to Direct Action under WAM in Tilburg

Submitting a direct action to your WAM insurer in Tilburg follows a structured step-by-step guide, tailored to local circumstances such as busy roads around the Spoorzone or the city centre. Step 1: Report the accident directly to your insurer, preferably within 24 hours. Provide details on date, time, location (e.g., at the Hasselt roundabout or Pieter Vredeweg) and involved parties, including Tilburg licence plates. Step 2: Submit evidence, such as the European Accident Statement (completed by both drivers), photos of the damage to your vehicle and the Tilburg street, plus a police report from Oost-Brabant police if officers were present at the scene. Step 3: Complete the claim form digitally via your insurer's app or website, specifying repair costs at local garages such as Autobedrijf Van Gils or medical bills from ETZ hospital. Step 4: Your insurer must respond within 30 days in accordance with the Legal Aid Act; in Tilburg cases often faster due to good cooperation with regional experts. Step 5: Accept the payout or negotiate; subrogation with the liable party (often a local Tilburger) is handled by your insurer. Avoid errors such as late reporting, which may result in own risk or rejection, especially at peak times on the Ringbaan. For injury or complex claims in Tilburg, engage a local personal injury lawyer via the Noord-Brabant Legal Desk. This process accelerates handling, with payouts often within 6 weeks for simple accidents in the city. (218 words)
