Car accident claims frequency in first quarter 2011 continues to decline compared to previous years. This could be good news for drivers if fewer car insurance claims flows though to soften the increase in car insurance premiums. Car repair shops across the country are reporting a marked decline in repair work, presumably because of the high cost of fuel and other financial pressures. Car insurers are expected to carrying on fighting claims so if you have to make a car accident claim it makes good sense to deal through a reputable claims manager.
