1 Answers
If you accidentally scratch a parked car by the roadside, it is recommended to contact your insurance company and report to the police. If compensation to the other party is required, you can choose to report to the traffic police to determine the accident liability. After scratching a parked car, in addition to compensating for the repair costs, you also need to cover the reasonable transportation expenses of the other party during the vehicle repair period. If the other party's vehicle is legally engaged in commercial activities such as goods transportation or passenger transportation, you should also compensate for the reasonable loss of business income due to the inability to operate. More legal aspects are introduced as follows: 1. The cost of repairing the damaged vehicle, the loss of items carried in the vehicle, and the vehicle rescue expenses; 2. If the vehicle is destroyed or cannot be repaired, the replacement cost of a vehicle equivalent in value to the damaged vehicle at the time of the accident; 3. For vehicles legally engaged in commercial activities such as goods transportation or passenger transportation, the reasonable loss of business income due to the inability to operate; 4. For non-commercial vehicles, the reasonable cost of alternative transportation due to the inability to continue using the vehicle.
