Where to Repair a Car After a Rear-End Collision?
1 Answers
If the traffic police determine liability and the other party does not cooperate, after the car is repaired, go to the traffic police handling the accident. They will notify the other party to make the payment. If the other party still does not cooperate, the traffic police will have measures to address the situation. 1. First, regarding the repair: Check if the other party has insurance. If they do, the insurance company needs to take photos at the scene and then proceed with the claim. If there is no insurance, the other party should directly go to the repair shop and cover all the costs. 2. Next, regarding lost wages and transportation expenses: If your vehicle is not a commercial vehicle, lost wages and transportation expenses should be calculated together. For example, if the repair takes 3 days, estimate the cost of renting a similar-level vehicle and other related expenses for those 3 days. This amount represents the lost wages and transportation expenses. 3. Finally, regarding depreciation costs: This depends on the extent of the damage. Generally, rear-end collisions are not too severe, as the rear of the car does not contain critical components. You can estimate the depreciation yourself or consult a valuation center.
