Loss Adjusters:
If your car has been damaged, it is these assessors that firstly view the damage and decide what will be done to the vehicle. If the damage is marginal to repair or a definite write off they will call for a valuation. We would advise the owner to always ask for at least two valuation reports, to be sure there is uniformity in their report, stating all the accessories and modifications.
If you are 3rd party:
It’s important for you if you are responsible for the damage that you make sure at least two valuation reports are carried out. As an average may be decided for settlement, one should be of your choice to make sure you are of the understanding they are keeping within each other. A phone call to us is free and can give you a better understanding and what you can do during any settlement negotiation process. By getting a valuation it assists both parties and avoids the situation of a too low or too high pay out on claims. Can obtain independent advise by contacting www.autoassess.co.nz
