Is there a repair list after damage assessment?

[StGriffin]

There is a repair list after damage assessment, which is normally provided proactively. If not provided, you need to request it from the staff. Once the policyholder's vehicle is involved in an accident, a specialized damage assessment department will evaluate the damaged vehicle, but the policyholder must report the incident to the insurance company within 24 hours. Details are as follows: 1. Damage Assessment: Vehicle damage assessment is based on automotive construction principles, using scientific and systematic professional inspection, testing, and surveying methods to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the collision and accident scene. It utilizes vehicle damage estimation data and repair information to provide a scientific and systematic pricing for collision repair. 2. Immediate Reporting: The first step after a traffic accident is to report to the traffic police to determine accident liability. Meanwhile, the insurance company surveys the scene, assesses the damage to the vehicle, repairs the damaged vehicle, and finally issues invoices for claims. The first action is to report the accident. After a traffic accident, the vehicle owner must not leave the scene and should promptly protect the accident site.

After my last accident, I did receive a repair estimate. The claims adjuster came on-site to assess the damage and listed all the necessary repair items, such as replacing the headlights, fixing the bumper, and the paint costs, with detailed pricing for parts and labor. Before the repairs began, I had to sign off on this estimate to ensure full transparency. Without it, I might have worried about the repair shop overcharging or skipping necessary fixes. It also made it easier to reconcile the final bill afterward. I recommend requesting the estimate promptly from your insurance or repair shop after the damage assessment, and it's best to keep an electronic copy as backup in case of future disputes. This is a crucial step to protect your rights.

Yes, there is a repair list after damage assessment, which is the standard procedure. The insurance company sends someone to inspect the damage and determine the repair items, then issues a list to the repair shop. The list includes details of parts replacement, estimated repair costs, etc., helping you and the repair party communicate clearly. For example, after one accident, the list I received specified the cost for hood replacement and windshield repair. Without the list, it's easy to get confused, so I recommend always confirming receipt of the list after damage assessment. If the other party delays, just call and follow up directly. This can avoid misunderstandings and save time.

Yes, after the damage assessment, there will be a repair list detailing all the parts that need to be fixed and their approximate costs. As an ordinary car owner, I find this quite useful as it lets me know what's wrong with the car and how it should be handled. I recommend you proactively request it from the insurance company to avoid any omissions.
