WHO ASSUMES THE COSTS FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT APPRAISAL IN BERLIN?

In advance the first important information for you. The opposing insurance company must pay the costs for your motor vehicle accident assessor if your vehicle was damaged in an accident and you are not at fault for the accident. This does not apply in the so-called minor case. If the amount of damage is less than 750, – euros, no expert opinion, but a cost estimate is made. This only includes the damage calculation and a few photographs for documentation purposes. Even if it is only a worn exterior mirror, you have the right to claim the cost of a new exterior mirror.

What questions does the accident report clarify?? The motor vehicle accident appraisal determines in a legally secure manner which repair costs must be spent for the repair of the vehicle. The accident report will tell you what the depreciation is or if the accident damage is a total loss. In this case, it must be clarified how high the replacement value and the residual value are. The overall condition of the vehicle and the accident damages are documented by the expert with photographs. This ensures that even after your vehicle has been repaired, the original damage can be shown, as is required, for example, in the event of a dispute in court. The settlement of claims in the event of an accident is a complex matter. Insist on your rights and have your accident appraisal prepared.

INDEPENDENT CAR APPRAISERS IN BERLIN

Accident appraisals are divided into the areas of motor vehicle liability damage and motor vehicle comprehensive damage.
The motor liability damage occurs if you are not to blame for the accident. As an injured party in an accident, you have the right to choose whether the damage should be settled by a professional repair or by the required amount of money (settlement via expert opinion). If the motor vehicle assessor determines a total loss, recovery through repair is not possible. In this case, the opposing insurance company must cover the costs for the replacement of an equivalent vehicle.

The comprehensive motor vehicle damage occurs if you have caused the accident yourself, culpably. The choice of the expert and all important claim settlement formalities are regulated in the special conditions of your comprehensive insurance contract. This also applies to partial comprehensive damage, such as damage caused by wild animals and storms. Let us advise you.

The legal regulations in Germany stipulate that the motor vehicle liability insurance of the party responsible for the accident must cover the costs of your independent accident assessor. You are further entitled to reimbursement for towing costs and the cost of a rental car until your vehicle is roadworthy again or a new vehicle is purchased (totaled). If you don't need a rental car for this time, you are entitled to loss of use money. If you need legal assistance and/or are entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, the opposing insurance company must also cover these costs. As a motor vehicle accident assessor in Berlin, we will provide you with an independent motor vehicle accident report and will be happy to advise you on your claims and rights that you can assert. Please note that we can only advise you of your claims, but as accident adjusters we are not authorized to take over the filing of claims!

TIPS FROM THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT ASSESSOR

As a motor vehicle accident assessor, we will also act for you if your vehicle has suffered comprehensive or partial comprehensive damage. Damage to comprehensive insurance is usually self-inflicted or. those in which the damaging party was not determined. Partial cover damage to the car includes damage caused by lightning, hail or storm (fallen trees/branches), theft, game and fire. If you have a comprehensive or partial cover claim, you must first clarify with your insurance company whether they will cover the costs for an independent, freelance accident assessor. In the case of comprehensive and partial comprehensive damage, the insurance company is not obligated to pay the costs for this, it can also send its own expert, which usually also takes place. If you are not satisfied with the comprehensive accident report of the insurance company, you can call in an independent accident assessor at your own expense, who will check this report neutrally. It may well be worth your while to have an accident adjuster review the insurance company's report in the event of a dispute. As an automotive appraiser, we would be happy to provide you with a personal quote and advise you on the cost/benefit ratio. Call us, we will advise you personally.

And another tip from us for you: Don't be misled at the scene of an accident by what you think is minor damage. Some damage only becomes visible with a detailed appraisal. Vehicles of modern design are usually equipped with plastic bumpers, which have a high recovery capacity. That is, after the bump, the bumper reshapes itself and, on superficial inspection, the impression is that no damage was done. You can't see what's broken underneath due to impact. The bumpers are underpinned with impact absorbers, beams and brackets, which are often damaged even by lighter impacts. The rear panel can also be dented in the event of rear impacts, although the damaged area is usually concealed by the bumper. If this damage is not detected because an automotive expert was not involved in the assessment, you will have to pay for any repair costs incurred later yourself, for example when returning leased or financed vehicles.
