Accident Management
Fleet Accident Management
Road accidents can cost companies thousands and thousands of pounds each year with repair costs, insurance premiums and production downtime.
Accident management companies can help to reduce these costs by capping repair costs, making sure drivers get back on the road again and analysis which enables fleet managers to highlight drivers who need further training.
Accident management companies take the responsibility of accidents away from the fleet manager and provide a cost solution that could not only save the company thousands but also reduce the number of accidents on the roads.
