What to Do When Scraping Another Vehicle While Parking?
1 Answers
When you scrape someone else's car while parking, don't panic. Immediately stop moving the vehicle and get out to assess the extent of the damage. If the scratch has reached the car's primer, repainting is the only way to restore it, which is relatively inexpensive. For more severe scratches, it's advisable to follow legal procedures and file an insurance claim, letting the insurance company evaluate the cost to minimize your losses. Below is the process for car insurance claims: 1. Accident Liability Determination: Report the accident to the police immediately and have the traffic police determine liability. 2. Notify the Insurance Company: An insurance adjuster will visit the scene to inspect and confirm the situation. 3. Vehicle Repair: Insurance companies usually recommend repair shops they cooperate with, but car owners can also choose their own. 4. Claim Settlement: Submit the repair invoice to the insurance company for claim settlement.
