Hallo,
Someone drove into the trunk of my car. There was only material damage. The police recorded the accident. A letter from the police arrived in the mail today.
My car is 25 years old. A few comparable cars (roadworthy, in “good” condition) are offered on popular portals for 600-800 euros. I assume it is a total economic loss.
I found a similar post/thread, but the value of my vehicle is probably below the de minimis damage limit (?).
It seems clear who caused the accident, and there is an RV (if needed?). I am currently away on holiday and can deal with the matter later.
What is the best way to handle the case?
What can I do if the vehicle is still drivable but is declared a total loss? Can I get compensation from the other party’s insurance company and keep driving? Or would the vehicle have to be scrapped or sold?
I would be grateful for any suggestions!
I apologize for this – for the experts among you – trivial question, but I have never been involved in such an (involuntary) accident with (my) “almost 0 Euro worth” vehicle.
Greetings, Kappa13
PS I can easily have a report drawn up by “my” garage. The opposing insurance company is kept away from the vehicle.
I have the same questionNew answer
