Accident report - Who pays the appraiser?
Table of contents
The most important things in brief
- Reimbursement of costs: In a normal case, the liability insurance of the person responsible for the accident pays the costs of the motor vehicle appraiser when the question of guilt has been clarified and the damage is more than minor damage.
- Need for an appraiser: An expert opinion following an accident is necessary if the damage is higher than 750 euros or if the course of the accident is unclear. The report is the basis for settling claims and can be used in court.
- Partial debt: In the case of partial debt, the costs of the appraiser are divided according to the fixed debt ratio. The insurance company pays on a pro rata basis for the debt ratio.
- Refusal of insurance: If the insurance company refuses to cover the costs of the appraiser, a lawyer's letter can help to assert itself. If necessary, you have to go to court.
