Can I Get New Parts If the Other Party Is Fully at Fault?
1 Answers
You cannot get new parts if the other party is fully at fault, as the principle after a vehicle accident is to restore the vehicle through repairs. The process of vehicle damage assessment: Damage assessment involves taking photos of the accident, identifying the damaged parts of the vehicle, determining whether to replace or repair each part, and finally assessing the extent of the damage. The correct steps should be to report the accident promptly, take photos with your phone as evidence, notify the insurance company for damage assessment and inspection, and then proceed with repairs. The timeline for vehicle repair claims: The customer needs to gather all necessary documents and wait until the repairs are completed and the repair shop issues an invoice before entering the claims stage. The time from submitting the repair documents to final submission accounts for more than 70% of the entire claims process. On average, it takes about 40 days from the time of reporting the accident to receiving the compensation.
