Car accident lawyers and professional claim managers to analyse, support and pursue your material car accident claim, effective and economical, nationwide in South Africa.
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.

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident with an employed driver on duty, and he/she is liable for the cause of the traffic accident, it can become a delicate situation in order to sue and receive your motor car damage compensation.
The employed liable driver, causes the damage to your vehicle, is most likely to not be cooperative in the support to solve the mess of damaged, after the auto accident, because he/she wants to downscale the traffic accident from his/her employer, in fear of the employer's reaction.
A person who employs various motor car drivers will find himself involved in traffic accidents more often that he would like to be. The employer will fear the reaction of his motor insurer, and whether the insurer will increase his premiums, or other negatives will come to effect, as concluded exemptions in the motor insurance contract.
The employed car driver himself will probably not be able to pay for the motor vehicle accident damage, caused to you, as to lack of financial strength. The motor car will be insured in the name of the employer and it is advisable to sue both, the driver and the employer for motor car accident damage compensation.

When enforcing a car accident claim, you have to follow certain procedures, starting at the scene of accident. One has to gather details about the vehicle accident: how it happened and who the parties and persons involved are, etc.
Liability for the car crash must be proven, and the vehicle damage must be listed to prove what must be compensated for.
The liable party for the auto damages must then be called upon to pay for the accident damage caused. If the deemed liable party has a different opinion, about the matter (regarding liability for the cause of the traffic accident, or the material motor car damage), your own position must be proven and formulated.
If the liable party still do not want to cooperate and/or pay, the claim for motor vehicle damage compensation must probably be heard in the court of jurisdiction. Therefore, the court of jurisdiction must be identified, and a formal court claim has to be established. Such a court claim will entail the complete legal process, and expert knowledge is needed to successfully represent you in a trial.

Insurance companies offer various tariffs, curtailed to your need or of what they want to sell to make the most out of it. Where an insurance customer chooses a tariff with motor excess, to be paid by the insured in order to have lowered their premiums, the contribution is to be paid any time in a claim. If a claim value will be lower or equal to the excess, it makes no sense to claim and the insurance company is out of responsibility.
The insurance companies use this shift of risk from the insurer to the insured to be able to offer lower premiums.
If you are comprehensively insured for material motor car accident damages, and you want to claim for your own vehicle damage from your insurer, for what you suffered in a traffic accident (even if not liable), or to minimise hassle or waiting time until the liable party pays, the motor excess will be due.

We can probably all agree on the fact that not all repair work that is done on motor vehicles, is of the same quality.
A bad repair of car accident damage, probably based on a low or incomplete quotation, may influence the safety of your motor car and your own safety. It may even affect the roadworthy of the car and will certainly have a negative impact to your motor car's value.
If you do not want to decrease the value of your car damaged in a traffic accident, the repair must be done according to the manufacturer's specification and with original parts, as far as possible.
A RAMLA listed repair workshop or panel beater will work according to these standards and will even add service value to the costumer.

Choosing the right expert witness when claiming for motor vehicle accident compensation can be crucial to your success, especially when it comes to court cases.
An expert must draft a professional vehicle damage assessment report and must be familiar with their obligations when they testify in court to support you claim.
There are presently no defined standards on who can call themselves a motor assessment expert in South Africa. RAMLA recommends that a true expert that have the capability to function as an expert witness in a court proceeding, will have a background and special training in the field that they are working in. RAMLA does not recognise a person as a qualified vehicle damage assessor, if their only qualification is working in a motor car repair shop for a few years.
It is crucial that an expert witness in a court procedure for motor car damages is able to testify and assess independently to arrive at fair and full vehicle accident damages to be compensated for.
Please let us know about your experience with damage assessment.
