Your rights after an accident –
professionally assessed

For liability claims, the opposing insurance covers the full cost. For comprehensive claims, your own insurer usually covers the appraisal costs above a certain damage threshold.

No. We come to you – personal on-site inspection is our standard and legally required. We serve the entire Wülfrath, Velbert, Mettmann, Düsseldorf and Wuppertal area.

Yes! As an accident victim, you have the legal right to choose your own appraiser.

The on-site inspection typically takes 30–60 minutes. You usually receive the finished report within 1–2 business days.

We prepare your technical damage report – complete and precise. For legal enforcement, we recommend a specialized traffic law attorney if needed.

Even with shared fault, you are entitled to an independent appraisal. The costs are proportionally reimbursed by the opposing insurer according to the liability ratio. In cases of unclear liability, a detailed appraisal is particularly important as it forms the basis for fair claims settlement. We recommend a traffic law attorney for the legal clarification.

Yes! We create professional valuations for classic cars, youngtimers and modern vehicles. Our valuations are created using the Value Report software – a recognized system with an extensive market database for classic and modern vehicles.

Liability damage occurs when another person caused the accident – the opposing insurance covers all costs, including appraisal fees. Comprehensive damage results from your own fault, wildlife collisions, stone chips or similar events – your own insurance settles the claim.

The threshold for so-called minor damage is hardly relevant today – due to rising repair costs and parts prices, even smaller damages quickly exceed the threshold. When in doubt, an appraisal is worthwhile to fully secure your claims.

A classic car valuation starts from €180 – the exact price depends on the effort, vehicle type and scope of the assessment. Contact us for an individual quote.

The inspection takes place at the workshop, at your location or at our office, depending on the vehicle condition. The vehicle is thoroughly documented and photographed. Please bring the vehicle registration and accident report.

No – for liability claims, you as the injured party have the right to freely choose your appraiser. The opposing insurance may not impose their own appraiser on you.

Reductions by insurers are unfortunately common today. If your claims are reduced, we recommend consulting a specialized traffic law attorney. Feel free to contact us – we support you with the technical clarification.

A short appraisal is mainly suitable for smaller damages below the minor damage threshold or when quick damage documentation is needed. For larger damages, we recommend a full appraisal to secure all claims.

An on-site inspection is of course possible by arrangement – we are happy to come to you or to the workshop. You can also bring your vehicle directly to our office.

The replacement value is the amount you would need to spend to acquire an equivalent vehicle in comparable condition on the regional used car market. This value is central to claims settlement, especially in cases of total loss.

You will usually receive your finished appraisal within 1 to 3 business days after the inspection – depending on the extent of the damage. We work Monday to Friday.
