Motor vehicle insurance handle your own claim
Discussion
A broken indicator glass.No inury or anything like that.
I know that it was acceptable to inform ones insurer of the colision and write on the top of the claim form 'for information only' then settle the calim ones self.
That was the correct way to do it at one time. But I don't know if insurers allow their clients to handle thier own claims anymore?

What's this broken indicator glass on that it warrants an insurance claim. A Bugatti Veyron? 
I'd simply settle it with the other party. I wouldn't bother telling insurance at all, either mine or theirs.
Failing that, assuming it was done to your car, and the other party has admitted liability I'd approach their insurance company directly. They'll settle as it will cost them less overall.

I am doing my own claim at the moment. While both cars were unattended, a Mini rolled into my Cayenne in a car park. I googled around for a week, trying to figure out what to do. In the end I spent £4.50 at askmid to get the Mini's insurer and I sent in a claim. The insurer phoned me up today to arrange an engineer's visit, and said they were totally happy for me to use my preferred repairer.
