Accidents where OD KFK Claim is not applicable:
If the third party did not lodge any police report, you can only lodge an Own Damage (OD) claim. However, we may consider your claim under OD KFK if you have the police investigation outcome to confirm the third party is at fault. You may be required to submit a Statutory Declaration affix by Commissioner of Oath.
To proceed with an OD KFK claim, it is necessary to collect the required documents directly from the police station, including any additional documents as required. Alternatively, you may coordinate with the workshop for any assistance regarding additional services needed.
