How to Claim Compensation When Your New Car is Scratched and the Other Party is Fully at Fault?
1 Answers
After your new car is scratched, you can claim compensation from the other party by verifying their documents. Below are the specific steps to claim compensation when the other party is fully at fault: 1. Negotiation: If the accident occurs on the road, immediately turn on your hazard lights and set up warning signs behind your vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. If there is heavy traffic and vehicles are moving at high speeds, move to a safe area before negotiating. 2. Collect Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene. Modern smartphones have powerful cameras, so take as many photos as possible. Capture both wide-angle and close-up shots of the collision location. Wide-angle shots should ideally show which party was at fault for the accident. For close-ups, take multiple angles around the scene, focusing on the collision point to demonstrate the impact and the extent of damage to both vehicles. 3. Verify Documents: Check the other party's documents, including their vehicle registration, driver's license, and the validity of their compulsory insurance. Also, check if they are driving under the influence of alcohol. If the other party is driving without a license or under the influence, protect the scene and call the police immediately. If all documents are in order and both parties agree on liability, the at-fault party should call their insurance company to file a claim.
