You will find a lot of useful information on the RAMLA (Road Accident Management & Legal Action) web pages.
First of all we have to definite what we have to understand will be full and fair motor accident damage compensation. But even before doing so, we have to clarify that the South African System of motor car accident compensation, is split off into the sector of bodily injuries, which is dealt with very different to that of material damage compensation. The web pages you are browsing currently only focus on the material and civil claim for you to receive the full and fair traffic accident damage compensation occurred to your vehicle.
The South African law say: You should be materially compensated so that you will be able to have your damaged auto repaired to the state it was in, before the traffic collision impact. That means either you cannot expect a new car (some exemptions excluded here i.e. if your motor vehicle is very much new, so saying not older than a year since being on the road the first time) if your one is fairly used and the marks of wear and tear are visibly impacting you auto value.
But even an older motor car must be repaired to manufacturer's standards to maintain the roadworthy status of the then repaired vehicle.
So to say it in short, get it back on track, but do not try to make a fortune out of it, as that can easily backfire on you. But this does not mean you have to agree to too many compromises in terms of your motor car repairs. To have your damaged car back into the state it had been before, you need to prepare a solid base of value analysis for your compensation, either by a qualified repair quotation or by a professional damage assessment.
But nothing is always stringent and you cannot take one argument alone to find the correct compensation basis. There may even be differences in what you might have to accept as motor car accident repair compensation, in either a third party claim or a claim you direct to your own comprehensive motor insurance policy.
A claim launched with you motor insurance company will have to look on what you have covered under your policy and probably have some contributions to accept, due to the content of your policy.
A 3rd party claim, directed to the perpetrator however must give you full compensation and no clauses, as insurance excess or other limitations in your insurance policy apply.
In most cases, you should have some professional support. If you want to get the matter sorted out quickly, possibly with less costs as possible, and being compensated for your car accident damage fairly, you should consider and let a car accident damage claims specialist such as RAMLA, or your local attorney working for you.

A motor vehicle damage assessment can be the cornerstone of your proof, in terms of your material car accident damages, you need to claim for compensation from the liable party.
As generally well known fact the liable party will not always accept the claim against them, even if properly insured against the risk of motor car accident damages caused to a 3rd party. Even South African motor insurance companies will not easy buy your claim for motor accident compensation.
Insurance companies most often send its motor car damage assessors to analyse any more serious damages, which amount to a certain amount of compensation to be paid by them and take the finding of such vehicle damage assessment as a basis to arrive at any kind of settlement offer.
One should keep in mind, that the vehicle damage assessment in the order of the insurance companies done by its contracted motor car damage assessors must not always be objective. They do have a task to get the threshold to enter the claim as low as possible.
An objective and well documented motor car damage assessment is of outmost good support for your proof and position in the claim for auto crash damage compensation. If you have such a qualified and independently made vehicle damage assessment, and the assessor well prepared to testify in support of the assessment in court, you are in a safe a place.
A qualified motor car damage assessment always outweighs a simple repair quotation in terms of the quality, completeness and details to give evidence to the material damages suffered in the road accident. It will give you the peace of mind you need to have your car accident damage completely repaired and eliminate detrimental effects in regard of safety or value of your vehicle after a proper and professional repair.
You will be able to repair your damaged car even before a settlement had been reached or evidence had been given in court, without the risk of losing your position of proof.
The cost for a damage assessment will always be worth it as it positively influence a court claim.

Having a reliable witness when a car accident matter must be proven in court, will be an essential key to not lose a claim for vehicle accident damage compensation.
A witness testimony can be given in a well prepared affidavit to minimise the impact to the witness at all, as only few likes to be in court, even just as a witness.
Unfortunately, being a witness is not very popular in South Africa, as it brings most often only hassle and time to spend. So the aim is to make it as comfortable for a potential witness as possible.
But a witness should be regarded as truthful, honest and clear to articulate any testimony straight the line and do not create confusion in testifying in court, which sometimes is unavoidable.
The witness should be advised about what they will have to expect in a litigation, and be familiar with the content of your case, and must be prepared for what to do in court. They should be prepared to give comprehensive and sufficient testimony; they should answer the questions in the cross-examination truthfully and without being uncertain. RAMLA will advise a members witness in the terms above, as part of the preparation of a successful car accident damage claim.

The situation where the liable party for the traffic accident damages, argues that the damaged vehicle is "written off" is one of the worst scenarios you might find yourself in when a claim for road accident damages must be pursued.
Scrap value as another term for "write off" means the actual value of the car damaged in traffic accident in the damaged state, when it cannot be repaired economically. This happens when the repair cost will exceed the market value, and then the car is written off.
Often observed by RAMLA claim management, disputes arise of what will be the market value in terms to decide if the matter can really be called, a written off one. South African insurance companies have sometimes a funny approach to define a market value in order to place this accident damage claim under the label to be written off, as this saves them regularly money to pay for compensation.
The salvage is even a factor in the deal with a "write off" status of a seriously damaged motor car in a traffic collision.
Depending on type, make and condition, the salvage of the motor car can still be a substantial amount of money.
When it comes to pay compensation for the car accident damages, the market value must be applied and the salvage will be either deducted from the amount to pay for the "written off" motor car damage arrived on mutually or by a verdict in court, or the party liable for payment will remain the total loss car for own disposal and must pay the claim in full.
Be careful when considering remaining the "scrap" as part of your traffic accident damage compensation. If you like remain your car scrap you must know what you will do with it, either repair or sell the salvage yourself, before you decide on that.
It may sometimes be wise to hand over the scrap to the liable party or the insurance company and enforce full compensation in cash.
