Accident Management

Fleet accident management is what happens after an incident: reporting it, arranging repairs, handling the claim and getting the driver moving again. Done piecemeal, it is stressful, slow and expensive. MDEL manages the whole process on your behalf as part of your outsourced fleet management department, so one phone call sets everything in motion.

What Accident Management Covers

• First notification of loss and incident reporting
• Repair coordination through approved body shops
• Windscreen and glass repair and replacement
• Recovery and rescue where needed
• Claims handling and support through to resolution
