In Malaysia, Knock-for-Knock (KFK) is a claim process where your own insurance company<\/strong> pays for your vehicle repairs even if the accident wasn\u2019t your fault<\/strong>. It\u2019s applicable only if you have a comprehensive car insurance<\/strong> policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of chasing the other party\u2019s insurer, your insurer pays upfront and later claims it back from the at-fault party’s insurer. This simplifies the process, speeds up repairs, and protects your No Claim Discount (NCD)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Faster Repair Time<\/strong> 2. Protects Your NCD<\/strong> 3.

A dashcam<\/strong> provides solid evidence and speeds up investigations. Insurers may refer to dashcam footage when deciding whether a Knock-for-Knock claim is valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you only have third-party insurance<\/strong>, you are not eligible for a Knock-for-Knock claim. In that case, you must wait for the third party’s insurer to accept liability and process your claim\u2014often a slower process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choosing comprehensive insurance protects you better, especially in uncertain traffic situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2705 Benefits of Knock-for-Knock Claims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You deal only with your own insurer, which is faster and more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may also be eligible for Compensation for Assessed Repair Time (CART)<\/strong> and excess refunds<\/strong>, depending on your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
