Step-by-Step: What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
Ensure your safety first
Move to a safe spot off the road. If anyone is seriously injured, call 999 immediately. Do not move injured persons unless they are in immediate danger.
Take photos at the scene
Photograph: damage to your motorcycle, position of all vehicles, the other party's license plate, road conditions, and any visible injuries. This is your primary evidence for the claim.
Exchange details with the other party
Get their: full name, IC number, phone number, license plate number, and insurance details (insurer name + policy number). Give yours in return.
File a police report within 24 hours
Visit the nearest police station and file an official accident report. Bring your IC, driving license, and vehicle grant. The police report is mandatory for all insurance claims — without it, your claim will be rejected.
- •File the report yourself even if the other party offers to handle it. Your own report protects your interest.
Contact your insurer's hotline
Call your insurer as soon as possible after the accident. They will guide you through the next steps and tell you which panel workshops are nearest to you.
Send your bike to a panel workshop
Use your insurer's approved (panel) workshop for cashless repair — the insurer pays the workshop directly. If you use a non-panel workshop, you pay first and claim reimbursement later.
- •Cashless repair at panel workshops is faster and less paperwork for you.
Submit your claim documents
Bring to the workshop or insurer: police report copy, IC copy, driving license copy, motorcycle grant/ownership card, completed claim form, and photos of damage.

Think Carefully Before Claiming — NCD Loss Can Cost More Than the Repair
Motorcycle Theft Claim Process
If your motorcycle is stolen: Report to the nearest police station within 24 hours. This is mandatory — insurers will reject theft claims without a timely police report.
Documents needed: Police report (original + copy), IC, driving license, motorcycle grant (original), all keys including spare keys, and completed insurer theft claim form.
Timeline: Theft claims take longer than accident claims — typically 30–90 days. In some cases up to 6 months. The insurer may require a JPJ confirmation letter to verify ownership.
Payment: For a total theft, your insurer pays the agreed or market value of your motorcycle (minus any policy excess). If your policy is 'agreed value', you'll receive the agreed sum. If 'market value', the insurer will assess current market price.
Important: Keep ALL keys. Submitting only one key can result in a reduced settlement or claim rejection, as some policies require proof that the theft was not facilitated by carelessness.
