Can I Claim Depreciation Costs After My Car Was Rear-Ended?

[PaulLee]

Car accident compensation generally does not include depreciation costs. Below is a detailed explanation of rear-end collisions: Liability Issues: If your car is rear-ended, the other party is fully at fault. You can use the accident report, repair cost invoices, and the traffic police's accident liability determination to directly claim compensation from the other party's insurance company, including property damage compensation under compulsory traffic insurance. If both parties cannot reach an agreement on compensation, you can directly sue the other party and their insurance company. Compensation the Other Party Should Provide: After a rear-end collision on the road where the other party is fully at fault, in addition to claiming repair costs, you can also request compensation for vehicle depreciation and lost wages. For these additional affected expenses, you can demand compensation from the other party.
