What to Do If Your Car Is Deliberately Scratched by Someone Else?
1 Answers
The specific measures to take are as follows: 1. Call the police: Deliberately scratching someone else's car is a malicious act, so the first step is to report it to the police. The police will come to take photos and gather evidence, check surveillance cameras, and then analyze and track down the perpetrator. 2. Report to the property management: If the car is scratched within a residential area, it is advisable to report it to the property management immediately. Since property management collects car management fees, they should oversee and manage the vehicles. They will also assist in investigating who the perpetrator is and cooperate with the police in checking surveillance footage. 3. File an insurance claim based on the situation: If you have purchased scratch insurance, you can file a claim with the insurance company. However, if you haven't purchased scratch insurance, it's likely that you won't be able to claim. Even if you can claim, you should consider whether it will affect next year's insurance premium. 4. Choose the right time for repainting: Car scratches are common. If you repaint every time your car gets scratched, it will cost a lot. For minor scratches, you can buy some sandpaper and automotive spray paint to touch up the paint and prevent rust.
