Gather Required Documentation
Before calling, collect the policy number, driver's license, vehicle registration, police report (if applicable), photos of damage, and any repair estimates. Having these items ready speeds up verification and reduces back‑and‑forth.

Notify Clear Blue Insurance
Contact Clear Blue through the preferred channel—online claim portal, mobile app, or 24‑hour claims hotline. Provide the incident date, location, a brief description, and the documentation list. The system will generate a claim reference number for tracking.
Submit Supporting Evidence
Upload photos, PDFs of the police report, and repair estimates to the portal or email them to the claims adjuster. If you called, ask for the secure upload link or fax number. Clear Blue may request additional details, such as witness statements, so keep contact info handy.
Adjuster Review and Settlement Offer
After submission, an adjuster reviews the claim, may schedule an inspection, and then issues a settlement estimate. Review the offer carefully; you can negotiate if the amount seems low or if you have new evidence.
Finalize Payment and Repair
Once you accept the settlement, Clear Blue processes payment either directly to you or to the repair shop, depending on the policy terms. Keep receipts for any out‑of‑pocket expenses in case of later reimbursement.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Delaying the claim beyond the policy's reporting window (usually 48‑72 hours).
- Submitting incomplete or blurry photos, which can stall the adjuster's assessment.
- Missing the deadline for accepting a settlement offer, which may void the claim.
