Expert approach
Vehicle value and repair costs, rather than accident circumstances
A vehicle condition and valuation examination considers the vehicle as an object of value: it determines market value, repair cost, the amount of damage, diminished value, salvage value and the economic feasibility of restoration.
This differs from vehicle engineering examination of accident circumstances, which examines collision mechanics, speed, technical opportunities to avoid the accident and drivers' actions.
- Vehicle value:
market, equipment, mileage, condition, damage history and documents. - Repairs:
parts, labor, materials, painting, standard labor hours, procedures and hidden damage. - Damage:
accident, dispute with an insurer, repair shop, seller, owner or responsible party. - Deliverable:
specialist opinion, forensic examination, expert report review or questions for court.
Important: in OSAGO disputes, repair cost calculations may require a specific methodology and reference databases.
