Can a flood-damaged car be claimed for insurance?
1 Answers
If the flood-damaged car has been insured with vehicle damage insurance, it can be claimed for insurance. Component rusting: A water-soaked car is highly prone to rusting of body components, shortening its lifespan and reducing safety performance. Short-circuiting and stalling: A flood-damaged car can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden stalling or spontaneous combustion due to short-circuiting while driving. Interior mold: The most obvious and superficial issue with a flood-damaged car is that the interior is highly susceptible to mold. Repair costs: The repair costs for flood-damaged vehicles are very expensive. In cases of severe water damage, the repair costs may exceed 50% of the original vehicle price.
