collision claim
Accident damage request
A collision claim is a request filed with an insurance company seeking payment for damage to one's vehicle from an accident, regardless of who was at fault.
Unlike liability claims filed against another driver's insurance, collision claims are filed under your own policy: I filed a collision claim after hitting the guardrail.
The insurer pays repair costs minus your deductible.
