Motor accident damage claims





Don't be fooled - badly treated - and do not accept unfair Settlement offers - from any South African Motor Insurance.

             If anything doesn't go to plan, get professional support.             RAMLA may just be the right service

Motor Insurance cover gives an insured some protection against the risk of car accident collisions in public traffic for compensation of damages caused in traffic accidents. But by far not all claims will go through smoothly. Be aware of a variety of possible obstacles.

Obviously there are differences as how South African Motor Insurer handles compensation claims. There are comprehensive insurance cover policies and 3rd party cover contracts. The comprehensive cover safeguard both - damages to own property, such as the insured vehicle and the 3rd party damages - as third party cover only indemnifies the insured against claims made from other parties for compensation of destruction out of vehicle accidents, they are deemed to be liable for.

While the outmost important task for a comprehensive insured motorist is to maintain and adhere to all obligations concluded with the policy contract, not risking problems if it comes to claim for damages, 3rd party claims are more vulnerable to deep scrutinising of circumstances and subject to defensive actions or short falling settlement offers.         Don't compromise without good reason!

Caught up in a car accident

in South Africa, may force a party to claim damages from the wrongdoer,

or may lead to the need to defend against inflated or unrealistic claims.



RAMLA - Road Accident Management & Legal Action

Car accident lawyers and professional claim managers, enforcing traffic collision damages, effective, decisive but affordable.



Caught up in a traffic collision were motor cars/vehicles been involved, most of the time material damage or damage to property such as cars or other amenities, will come along with the impact.

An impact causes damages and compensation for repairs is automatically at stake.





RAMLA do concentrate on material or financial damage compensation claims, to get you be paid from the wrongdoer and/or liable party, in an accident scenario.

Such compensation claim can be one directly targeted against a wrongdoer in person, or dealing with representatives such as Lawyers or Motor Insurance Company claim deciders as a 3rd party claim.

Any claim needs to be funded on evidence and factual arguments supported by proof.

Proofing a claim is often easier said as done, as proof comes - in almost all cases - from the circumstances of the accident and evidence need attention right at the scene of impact.

Given if it is missed to secure evidence at the scene and its been not thoroughly attended to, it is time to do it now and act to secure all facts possible.

It is certainly not impossible to get such evidence, even in time after the accident, but it can be more difficult.



Free case analyse!

Dear valued reader, checking out the RAMLA car accident compensation platform; obviously you do have some traffic accident damage issues to solve.

Contact RAMLA for a free check and advice about your particular case issue. Just tell us about what happened and problem you face.






It may happen that potential witnesses left without identification, debris be cleared, faulty traffic lights be repaired, or CCTV footage deleted.

Pictures from the scene, document vehicle positions - damages etc., can only be taken, if and when cars still be in its places, which - once available - will have significant value in proofing facts and help reconstruct the impact or scenario.







As much important evidence is in itself, it is evenly relevant to know how to use it.

The ultimate goal is to be compensated for losses.

Experience is needed to be knowledgably and competently in order to address a claim and achieve a fair compensation pay.





Once a claim formulated, documented and served, still the reaction of other parties needs to be waited for and the content thereof to be analysed.

Results will define actions as what steps will or need to be taken next.





As a claim is formulated and supplied, it is to no certainty that reporting a fair claim, even if it is well documented, must lead the other party agree and accept and certainly pay the damages claimed.

Disputes can arise about the way all unfolded, the question of liability can be seen from different points of view, damage value or Quantum be under dispute and many more aspects of disputes can be raised, too much to get to in this column.





Another weak point can be a lack in knowledge how to handle a compensation claim.

People only looking for some advice only a while or even after a longer period of time, past the actual accident, and visit Web Pages such as this one you browse now - often late, and in the meantime doing all they can to address a compensation action to his/her own knowledge.



Many try to act on what may be at hand and they find and regard themselves to be fit for it.

This may work for a number of cases, as matters are clear and facts at hand are strong in its evidential role and the opponent or defendant do not argue unfair.

However it would be too optimistic to believe it is the normality. It is not, as it is almost the opposite, as many cases end up unsatisfactory.





Results or settlement offers may be incorrect in adjustment of liability, often named as contribution to the accident, by not adhere to all the duties, citing perhaps unreasonable precedents and/or allege and apply apportionment.

That may lead to significant losses, shortfalls or complete denial/repudiation of a claim.

Not any layman may be qualified to see through all of that and know if all what one faces in terms of reaction or settlement offers, will be fair and correct.

We do believe it is worth taking time and effort to check out on any doubt, before accepting any proposal.





Sometimes bodily injuries occur in a vehicle collision inflicting harm and pain to humans.

Even bodily injuries do have in some way a financial component and a victim need to be compensated in order to cope with recovery and subsequent costs etc.

However - we the author of this Web Platform - RAMLA - do not deal with bodily injuries claims.

Many specialised lawyers offer its services to solve matters pertaining a RAF (Road Accident Fund,) - bodily injury compensation claim, but the South African Government recommend a victim to first check and find out if one can claim without any specialist, in order not to spend a large portion of compensation on Lawyers fees.

Not each and every car accident compensation claim will handled fair, correct and reasonable.





Initially important is, to know the definition of what we have to understand, is 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 into the sector of bodily injuries, which deals with compensation actions regarding injuries to the human body and material damages, such as compensation for car destruction or consequential damages.

The RAMLA web pages, you are browsing currently, only focus on material damage compensation and civil claim actions to be financial/material losses paid for full and fair, resulting from traffic accidents.







In terms of compensation, the South African law say:

You should materially be compensated to the state before accident, so that you will be able to repair your car to pre-collision status, or if repair cost will exceed such pre-collision or market value; and the car be called a write off, be compensated to the amount of money the car been worth to time of impact, minus any sellable value or Salvage of the vehicle.





That means either you cannot expect a new car (some exemptions excluded here i.e. if your motor vehicle new, not older than a year since being on the road the first time, or depreciation kick in, if your car is fairly used and the marks of wear and tear, impacting your auto value to a specific time.

But even an older motor car must be repaired to manufacturer's standards to maintain the roadworthy status, as long as it will not be a write off.

Motor car accident damage claims may get into difficulties, once another party do not agree with what is claimed for.

Differences may be to condition of Quantum/Repair costs or of Liability.

Disputes must be addressed and corroborated by factual evidence, such as witness statements or pictures, CCTV footage or any other suitable evidence.

A successful claim should be supported by merits, so the other party do not have much to argue, but compelled to accept the claim demand and pay.

A claim launched with your own motor insurance company (comprehensive claim), will have to look on what you have covered under your policy, before any acceptance can be decided upon.

Depending on the cover taken, it can be the insured did accept some contribution, such as excess and the claim process need to be according to terms & conditions of the insurance contract.

A 3rd party claim, directed to the perpetrator however, must give you full compensation and no clauses, as insurance excess or any limitations in a insurance policy apply. Only the law of delict will be applicable to decide liability.

Any claim for car accident damage compensation can go wrong, be disputed or even declined.



As soon as in the process of a claim pursuit any disturbance or unusual investigation requests are noticed, it will be highly advisable to check critically, if your own knowledge and skill is sufficient to perform a vehicle crash compensation action your own, or if you should consider practical support by professionals.

Inflated or unjust claims need proper defence against unreasonable vehicle accident compensation actions





Defending against inflated claims isn't as challenging as perhaps thought.



Defence against unrealistic, unjustified or inflated claims is a need to do, if alleged to be held liable for car accident damages, which do not fall in your responsibilities.

It is always an inconvenient situation when defensive actions are needed, as to alleged of wrongdoing, which isn't true or fair.

However any person unfairly accused of wrongdoing and causing damages to another in a motor car collision, must enter into defence, not to risk to be sued and end up innocently be judged against one and subsequently face execution, against all of your property.

It should be noted that a claim against a person, is only dangerous, if not defended properly.

Defensive actions mean, deny a claim and its accusation, simple and clear and request proof of facts and merits.

Only if such evidential facts indeed be supplied and its content suest not to allow challenging the accusation, it will be advisable to look for a compromise or settlement agreement.

It must be known, that a person sue another in a Court of Law, must proof that the allegations are true and fair on a balance of probabilities.

Should such a proof cannot be shown, a case is lost and dismissed with costs and the Defendant is released from any liability or compensation payment.

In order to avoid unnecessary risk and hassle, it is highly recommended to utilise professional support to rebut unfair allegations, not to lose out on reasons of lack of knowledge, how to act against such allegations.

Important information and details needed to process a vehicle accident compensation claim

Enabling parties to facilitate MVA damage compensation actions, one need to know who is the other, how to contact, the physical address and best the workplace and occupation.

If the visitor of our web pages select reading this part, it may already be a bit or too late to find out, unless some intense effort and some luck supports a late data gathering.

In order demand or sue a party, accused to have negligently caused the motor accident, the party needs to contacted, either by the claimant him/herself, by a representative or an motor insurance company.

Unfortunately sometimes such data is even missing in a police accident report, if filed. A car owner can be tracked by a check-up with the police or traffic department, if the Vehicle Registration is known. But if identified the owner, it may still be a long way to held him liable, if no other evidence can be produced he or a driver in his service, been part in the particular accident.

In today's time, especially in our country South Africa, where distances can be long and conventional postage slowly and unreliable, it should be looked for an email contact, next to the telephone number.

Having an email contact will make a claim pursuit so much easier and quicker.

Missing out to gather required data at the scene of the accident, one may face the challenge to track and trace the liable party, so that you can serve your claim.

According to the law, it is the obligation of all participants in a traffic accident on South Africa's roads, to disclose identity and other relevant details a party suffered any harm or damages are entitled to know.

The police should support someone in need of such identification, even if they perhaps like being reluctant and argue, such damage claim is of civil nature in law and therefore the police cannot do anything, the victim should insist, the Police must assist.

The fact that you are involved in an automobile accident, forces you to take certain steps and that starts right at the place of the accident.

One of the steps is exchanging information with the driver of the other vehicles involved. This information includes the driver's name, ID No, address, telephone number e mail contact and the name of his or her automobile insurance company at best together with the policy number.

A driver who fails to stop after an accident, when required to do so by law, is accountable to be prosecuted and, if convicted, fined up to R36000, or sent to prison for up to nine years, or both.

If the driver fled can proof, that he did not stop because he were not aware of the accident, he may avoid prosecution. If not, the courts will presume that you were aware of the accident.

RAMLA manages motor vehicle damage claims in South Africa. Doing so in the daily practice, it shows that just in securing appropriate data and details at the scene of the car accident is often lacking. It will be very difficult if not impossible, to gather all such data needed, to pursue and enforce your motor damage claim, later as you find out you missed.

If you missed out to take photographs or note personal details, even very important having such of any potential witness etc., just as you dont't take the matter serious enough at this time, you will have a very week case and problems to support your evidence.

You might face hugest problems, if you unlucky crashed your auto with car driver intending to cheat on you, give false information and make it difficult finding the party, deemed liable for the car crash.

Some motorist may have a bad driving style, leading them being part of traffic accidents more often as others and either not insured at all, or classified a "bad risk" in the ranking of insurance clients risk profile, and therefore having problems with the compensation pay or valid insurance cover.

Such circumstances can lead the - experienced, negligent and accidentally driving motorist - to be reluctant and deliberately hide and even cheat, forced to identify themselves positively.

Even worse, if they give you wrong information's but you trust they are the true details, you are in a huge mess to have actively sue the car driver for damages. In South Africa it is very difficult to find and trace a person to hold them liable, without knowing where the person's residence or the workplace is.

What to do track and trace a cheating motorist, finding correct personal details and place of residence?

It's a challenge tracking the data of participants in the traffic accident, unlawful withhold you or gave you false data!

Unfortunately in the attempt to gather missed data or to verify wrong or lacking data, given by anyone involved in a car accident, who is obliged by law to give full and correct address and contact details, sometimes not even the police will be your best friend, helping you to find out what you need.

Commonly observed the police will tell you, that your car accident damage is a civil matter and that they only operate, if they find there is an offense to public law or unless bodily injury has occurred.

RAMLA is under the opinion that the police must assist in tracing according to the legal terms the South African law states in the act NO. 93 of 1996: National Traffic Act, 1996 at section 61. (1), we like to bring to your attention.





When you need support to claim professional and very economically RAMLA may be the best choice

RAMLA (Road accident management and Legal Action), is a specialist in material car accident management in South Africa.





Extract of NO. 93 of 1996: National Traffic Act, 1996 at section 61. (1) - Source Government of South Africa

The driver of a vehicle on public road at the time when such vehicle is involved in or contribute to any accident in which another person is killed or injured or suffers damage in respect of any property or animal shall

a. Immediately stop the vehicle

b. Ascertain the nature and extend of any injury sustained by any person

c. If a person is injured, render first aid to the person, call the ambulance.

d. Ascertain the nature and extent of any damage sustained

e. If required to do so by any person having reasonable grounds for so requiring , give his or her name and address of the owner of the vehicle driven by him or her, in the case of a motor vehicle the registration or similar thereof

f. If he she has not already furnished the information referred to in paragraph (e) to a traffic officer at the scene of the accident, and unless he or she is incapable of doing so by reason of injuries sustained by him or her in the accident , as soon as reasonable practicable , and in any case within hours after the occurrence of such accident, report the accident to any police officer at the police station or at any office set aside by a competent authority for use by a traffic officer , and there produce his or her driving licence and furnish his or her identity number and such information as referred to in paragraph (e)

End quoting the law

Having read the above extract of the South African law, which clearly describes what a participant has to do when involved in a traffic accident, RAMLA obviously concluded, that it is a breach and violation of the law, if a participant in such auto collision withholds his/her identity and address details or give false information, even if only property damage had occurred.

A traffic accident will be only one at all; if not at least a slight collision had been taken place, meaning property damage will be the case, even if of minor value, the data exchanges are pivotal in every traffic accident on public roads.

In that light the South African police should be forced to investigate in such matter and do not advice a citizen to look for private ways of investigation, to find out about other persons details as stipulated by the law.

Having the police refused to investigate on what reasons ever, you should consider and involve your lawyer or attorney or as good contact RAMLA as the better solution, launching a formal complaint with the police station in charge.

RAMLA is a specialist in motor accident damage recovery claims. Our team can help you through the process and minimise trouble affecting you in a claim.


Claiming against a negligent car driver, cheated on you about his/her personal identification, will be a challenge

Confronted with somebody in a claim for vehicle accident compensation, who lies to you when asked to give personal identification, will not be the outmost trustworthy human being you ever met.

A motorist attempting getting away from charges by cheating about personal and residential details will most probably continue with dishonest behaviour. Such people will be in dire need to get away from the claim, due to lack of financial backing, to pay for what this person is liable.

Even if such person will be insured against motor car damage risks, it is to suspect that already problems with the insurance company exist. An insured motorist with an intact insurance cover will not behave as pointed out above.

Therefore its important finding out, if the dishonest person will have enough funds to pay for the damages, after you demanded pay and even may need to go to a court of law, getting the perpetrator sued.

What to do if my own motor insurance company - comprehensive motor insurance cover - disappoints me with the settlement, or completely repudiate my claim, and I do not buy the arguments they come forward with.

Utilising of your comprehensive motor insurance cover on several reasons, solving the bitter results of car accident damages and not being the liable party for the road accident crash, you are looking for an amicable solution and settlement.

If you claim from your own insurance cover and you are not happy with the offer or result your motor insurance submit to you, a motorist can go different ways to take on the matter to find out and rebut the car insurance point of view for the denial or shortfall of car accident compensation.

Once you did all in your capacity to argue for a different and better settlement, you can always approach externals to support you. But any external support, such as RAMLA claim management offers, must be utilised - before a settlement offer is accepted.

A concluded settlement agreement doesn't leave any space for changing the case to the better, anymore. Waiting too long, before one considering claim support, can diminish the chances for doing better eventually.

car accident in South Africa RAMLA can help clients in all MVA matters to solve problems professionally, claims, disputes (3rd party / comprehensive Insurance cover), review of declines with the Ombudsman (OSTI) and defensive actions against unreasonable or inflated claims, professional - affordable.    Contact RAMLA for your support to have a damage claim paid or defenced.      Contact     
Your support options are:

1. Refer the matter to the Ombudsman (OSTI) for review

2. Consult your attorney

3. Consult other specialised experts in Accident matters, as RAMLA.

You should take note that only the insured can complain against his/her own insurance behaviour to the Ombudsman. No 3rd party is entitled to search such mediation.

Car insurance disputes can be referred to the Ombudsman for Short Term Insurance, as no agreement can be reached between the insured client and the car insurer. Once the Ombudsman has made a decision - he does so in a formal ruling.

These rulings made by the Ombudsman will be published and can be used as precedent or as a guideline, of what could be expected when seeking such ruling in your own case.

After an ombudsman's decision - and not being happy with the outcome, one can still take the matter to a court of law, in the hope they will investigate your evidence more deeply and hear your witnesses, getting a better judgement, more or completely in your favour.

The main differences between the options the ombudsman can apply and those of a court of law are that a court is able to investigate in evidence and hear witnesses and experts, which the ombudsman will not be able to do.

Primary objectives the ombudsman is looking on is, if the conclusion the insurance company has taken, out of given and not disputed facts are indeed reasonable and fair. Once there are different views of facts, the ombudsman is banned from making any rulings, as they are not allowed to investigate on colliding facts.

Welcome to RAMLA

Road Accicent Management & Legal Action - South Africa




RAMLA - is an experienced legal expert in most MVA - Motor Vehicle Accident - issues.

We act professionally and decisive for the - Demand of damage Compensation - Dispute Resolution - Defence against inflated or unreasonable claims, as well as for damage recovery caused by bad workmanship after car repairs.

With more than ten years of professional experience, well educated stuff, knowing the subject of car accident issues and solutions, we have advised many, many inquirers in the first steps to take for a solution,

- free of charge - ,

and over the years, served a high number of clients to solve differences with parties, addressed compensation actions, acted against unfair Motor Insurance declines or short falling settlement offers, pursuit reviews with the Industries Ombudsman and filed law suits and defences.

RAMLA do know very well, that all cases are individual and need particular attention to the details, as only a well structured and factual claim can have chances to success. With us, you can feel save.

If you valued visitor of the RAMLA web information platform, do have any such problems listed above, you may well be good advised to contact us and brief us - best by email - with what had happened and may be your problem.

Our initial reply and advice will be free of any charges or obligations,

but an active pursuit of a claim or defence will come with some smaller fees.





















 

How going forward once there is a claim or dispute or other challenges?

Well, once someone checks a web site as this one RAMLA presents, there will be some sort of a problem.

Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) issues are manifold and can be complex.

It may either be that there is no response from the liable party or the Insurer, the other party repudiate, apportioning damage liability leading to a short falling compensation offer, or any other claim decline, such as to violation of Insurance terms and conditions. All need experienced attention.

There are even cases, where a claim is directed to a 3rd party, deemed liable and demanded, but no engagement noticed.

Lot of issues coming up in MVA - car accident matters, may not be handled according to valid law, or wrongly interpreted.

There are many people in South Africa's motor insurance industry, without a legal background and act under instructions, don't care, nor perhaps not having the necessary skills, or just follow a strategy, to get rid of valid claims.

Such should not be accepted and the challenge taken head on, even if it comes with some engagement.

RAMLA as a specialised legal expert can solve such problems, just for a fraction in fees what you may miss out, if you don't have the right support.

In our view, it is not the correct way and get a legitimate claimant's demand, just been brushed away, isn't it?

Just take the time and contact, tell us about the matter and let us take care of it.





 

Defence against unreasonable or inflated claims?

RAMLA can help you most effectively to get a claim dropped or eased.

The results defending someone against whatever car accident compensation claim, can be very good, as often the evidence the Claimant do have is not sufficient to proof the claim, which is a pre-requisite for a successful action.

If it isn't as clear what the implications are and what evidence the other party/Insurance do have, chances are very good to stand through and get a claim successfully denied, even if a summons may have be served already.

The party alleges or accuses is forced to proof the claim and not the demanded party.

Many Insurance recovery claims fall short of such reliable evidence and therefore can be repudiated, even if it comes from attorneys or recovery agents.









 

However we do handle every substantial MVA claim,

against whatever party, Insurance, reluctant party or company successfully, given the merits of the issue are clear and stand a challenge.

Should the merits not be so favourable in the first place, we do all we can, improving such merits, to get the matter being a strong case.









 

Chances of success, if there is a strong case, and any other winning guarantees?

Those are questions we hear frequently, before a new client is prepared to accept some fees.

There cannot be any guarantee of success in legal matters, as the other party may have evidence matching or being better proof. If it comes to an action in a court of law, the presiding officer is the instance of weighting all brought forward in the action and decides.

However if sufficient evidence is at hand, chances are high to predict a win and succeeding with a matter, which ends up in an acceptable settlement/judgement.









 

You want to visit a local RAMLA office in your area and have a chat with one of our experts?

We are very sorry telling you, that we have chosen a different way of performing our business.

In order to hold overhead costs low, and not compromise on expertise and service, we have decided to act from one central, but not public office, in the Western Cape.

In order to hold fees low and offer very competitive rates, compared with similar legal services, we decided to concentrate intelligence and contain costs in this manner.

Anyone who likes to visit his/her adviser or attorney, should not choose RAMLA as a favourite, as we cannot or want honour just that.

But we can deliver the way we operate effectively, wherever you are in South Africa and with whom ever we have to deal, effectively, decisive and affordable.









 

What about fees, must they be paid upfront or can it be deducted from recoveries?

Let me answer the question in short.

Yes, all fees need to be paid up before we take action.

Why is that so?

Our fees are as competitive low, that we cannot enforce any such fees economically, if someone just take our services and thereafter give us hassles to pay.

Any local attorney will do the same, as asking for a deposit, commonly far higher than our entire fees are, upfront.

In general those deposits are offset against fee notes and further deposits requested in due course.

We dont do that. We deliver services not billed on time issues, but on performance phases, which gives cost certainty and the assurance to be taken care of the full matter.

Contact us to get more detailed information.









 

Any doubts about our capabilities or performance as this offer is an anonymous one on the web?

Well I must accept such doubts and can only point out and rely on the many we served before and who may be contactable for reference.

Check out what we display on our comprehensive web pages, which will back up our knowledge and experience without a doubt.

Anyhow we will never accept a mandate before we have had a first free analyse of your particular matter and if you aren't satisfied with our reply, simply don't go on with us, despite it may be detrimental to you.

We value a fair and open informative strategy, keeping a client updated, which will please most of those with an open mind to comunication technologies, such as email etc.

But we can only do what we offer and if you aren't happy with such offer, just get into contact with your local lawyer, or ask us to refer you to someone with specialised knowledge in MVA matters.









 

Should you have been through all before . . .

and still think we can be the one to solve your motor vehicle accident compensation problem in South Africa, just get in contact with us.

You're welcome to be served perfectly.

Motor Insurance Disputes



An insurance claim, either as a third party or comprehensive claim can come with a number of challenges.

Having the knowledge and experience, is a prerequisite to stand through against sometimes very strange arguments or decisions utilised by South African Motor Insurance Companies or its Brokers.





 

Ombudsman for short term Insurance (OSTI)



The Ombudsman for short term insurance disputes (OSTI) reviews matters that emanates from Insurance policy differences or disputes.

That means only contractual issues can be given for review and no 3rd party claims issues can be addressed to the Ombudsman.

Many people believe in objectivity and sympathies the Ombudsman may have to issues, believed to have been made unfairly by any Insurance decider.

It must however not always be expected that OSTI is in favour of Insurance clients to protect their rights.

Too often the decisions taken by the Ombudsman's office are backing the Insurance decision, particularly so as the evidence provided hasn't rebutted the Insurers argument, due to lack of knowledge.

The often one-sided information provided by the Insurer, even without verification, is taken for the decision, if a client in need for help doesn't know how to repudiate false or weak allegations and the matter will most probably be lost and the Insurer rests relaxed.

The Institution of the OSTI office is financed by the Insurance Industry.




 

A reluctant party try to hide and not engage?

Don't allow a party to act in such manner. A liable driver must take responsibility, but it can be a challenge if you have been too patient or trustful of promises and the other do know how to make you struggle.

It must be noted that a claim is easier declined than proven, and factual proof is what is meant the claimant has the onus of proof.





 

Companies don't engaging into claims they are vicariously liable for its employees

Companies are in some circumstances responsible and vicariously liable for employee's action and damages, if in charge for the business.

Despite most such companies may maintain a valid insurance cover, not many are open to an amicable solution and reluctant to support a claim.

The problem may just be that those who employ personal which need take part in public traffic in order to do the job get too much involved in car accidents throughout the employee's mistakes and don't like seeing the insurance cover in danger or face higher risk premiums.

There are commonly more difficulties to get matters processed as if claiming against a private person.

Our advice, get support as soon you feel something may not go as expected.





 

Alcohol or drugs a driver has abused but driving a car under the influence and causing the accident

Alcohol or Drugs shouldn't be consumed when on the road, for good reasons, and prohibited by law.

Once alcohol or drugs are suspected or proven, any insurance cover will lapse and no compensation can be expected covered by any Insurance.

However, the misuse of drugs and or alcohol must be proven in a professional manner.

It will not be acceptable, if an Insurer or another party just allege the other being intoxicated.

No witness or any observer can detect any or the degree of intoxication, even if they are medics, without scientific analyses, there is no proof.

Breathalyser and professional medical laboratory tests must show if any intoxication and to what degree, to get a claim declined or even to make one against another.





 

Market value, trade and retail value, scrap or salvage are all part in a "write off" case

When it comes to more serious car accident damages often repair costs are high. Should repair costs exceed the market or pre-collision value of the motor car, it will be called a "write off".

Unfortunately many of those been written off is caused by a decision of an Insurer.

The manner in which the car values of a highly damaged vehicle being evaluated, is by applying value schemes, often inappropriate schemes or wrong assessment results should be challenged.

A write off can cause many hassles in some regards.

There are some value schemes offering private persons a one time free value check.
