Other common problems include the inclusion of repair tasks that are not in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines, as well as a lack of detailed specification of the work necessary for proper and professional repair of the damaged vehicle.
Pitfalls in Vehicle Valuation Assessments
According to our extensive experience in the appraisal industry, the most common issues found in ODSZKODOWANIE MOTOEXPERT NIEMCY vehicle valuation assessments include: 1) Relying solely on system information or catalogs to estimate the vehicle’s value, without considering the actual and current situation in the regional market where the odszkodowanie komunikacyjne w Niemczech victim resides; 2) Lack of accurate and necessary estimation of the vehicle’s additional equipment; and 3) Incorrect calculations and application of adjustment factors.
Overreliance on System Information and Catalogs
Many appraisers base their wypadek drogowy w Niemczech vehicle valuations solely on information from electronic systems or pricing catalogs, without taking into account the actual market conditions in the victim’s local area.

We thoroughly evaluate the details of each case, ensuring that the claims are properly documented and that our clients receive the full compensation they are entitled to under German law.
Types of Claims Eligible for Compensation in Germany
According to German law, a Polish victim or their representative can directly claim compensation from the responsible German insurance company of the at-fault party for damages resulting from a vehicle accident or road collision in Germany. The eligible claims include: repair costs for the accident-damaged vehicle, total loss value of the vehicle, diminished value compensation, towing and storage costs, rental car costs or usage loss compensation, damaged personal belongings, and registration fees.
By choosing MOTOEXPERT, Polish victims of accidents in Germany can be confident that their case will be handled professionally and that they will receive the full compensation they deserve under German law for ODSZKODOWANIE MOTOEXPERT NIEMCY, odszkodowanie komunikacyjne w Niemczech, wypadek drogowy w Niemczech, and roszczenia powypadkowe w Niemczech.
Repair Costs: Direct Compensation or Reimbursement
When it comes to the repair costs of an accident-damaged vehicle in Germany, Polish victims have two options to consider. The first is the ability to freely choose a repair workshop, either in Poland or Germany, and have the repair invoice reimbursed up to a maximum of 130% of the vehicle’s pre-accident gross value. This ensures that the victim can fully cover the necessary repairs and restore their vehicle to its original condition.
Repair Invoice Reimbursement up to 130% of Pre-Accident Value
The German insurance company of the at-fault party is obligated to reimburse the repair invoice up to 130% of the vehicle’s pre-accident gross value. This allows the victim to select the repair workshop that best suits their needs and ensures that the full cost of the repairs is covered, even if it exceeds the vehicle’s pre-accident value.
MOTOEXPERT Technical Opinion-Based Repair Cost Estimation
Alternatively, the repair costs can be estimated based on the technical opinion of a German vehicle appraiser, such as MOTOEXPERT. Our experts calculate the repair costs using original manufacturer parts prices and labor rates of up to 240 euros per hour, depending on the region. This comprehensive assessment ensures that the victim receives a fair and accurate estimate of the repair expenses, regardless of whether the vehicle is considered a total loss or not. The victim can then choose to sell the unrepaired vehicle and claim the net repair costs in accordance with the appraiser’s technical opinion.
Vehicle Valuation in Total Loss Scenarios
In the case of a total loss (Totalschaden), the victim is entitled to compensation that allows them to purchase a comparable vehicle in their region of residence from a dealer or professional car seller, with a two-year warranty. The key factors influencing the vehicle’s valuation include the date of first registration, year of manufacture, technical condition, total mileage, number of previous owners, level of care, origin, nature of use, standard and additional equipment, previous repairs and their quality, and servicing history.
Accounting for Regional Market Conditions
Critically, the current regional market situation is a key consideration. Unfortunately, German appraisers, with the exception of MOTOEXPERT, often do not have knowledge of the market conditions in the victim’s home region, and they estimate the vehicle’s value as if it were registered in Germany. This can lead to compensation that may only allow the victim to purchase a lower-quality, older car in their local market, rather than a comparable replacement vehicle.
Diminished Value Compensation
According to German law, the victim is entitled to compensation for the diminished market value of the accident-damaged vehicle, even if it has been properly repaired. Vehicles involved in accidents, even when repaired correctly, are considered „accident vehicles“ (Unfallwagen), which are more difficult to sell. This diminished market value (Wertminderung) entitles the victim to additional compensation, typically for vehicles less than 10 years old that were previously accident-free.
At MOTOEXPERT, our team of experts specializes in accurately assessing the diminished value of vehicles involved in collisions in Germany. We utilize detailed market analysis and industry-leading valuation methods to ensure our clients receive the full compensation they are entitled to under German law for the loss in their vehicle’s market value, even after proper repairs have been made.
By partnering with MOTOEXPERT, Polish clients in Germany can trust that their claims for diminished value (Wertminderung) will be thoroughly and professionally evaluated. Our independent assessments provide the necessary documentation to substantiate these claims and secure the maximum rightful compensation from the responsible insurance company.
Cost Reimbursement for Technical Assessments and Legal Representation
Victims of accidents or collisions in Germany have the right to freely choose a vehicle appraiser. The cost of the technical assessment (Schadengutachten) performed by MOTOEXPERT experts is generally settled through a claim assignment and paid directly by the responsible insurance company, rather than the victim. It is highly recommended to use an independent appraiser like MOTOEXPERT due to their impartiality. The victim has the right to demand reimbursement of the appraiser’s fees if the estimated damage value in Germany is at least 750 euros, which is the case in the vast majority of collisions and road accidents.
Additionally, the victim’s legal representation costs are generally covered by the insurance company of the at-fault party in Germany, and the German attorneys working with MOTOEXPERT, unlike other lawyers, do not require any upfront payments from the Polish client.
Additional Compensable Expenses
If the accident-damaged vehicle in Germany is not roadworthy, the victim is generally entitled to reimbursement of the towing costs to the nearest suitable workshop or parking lot. Transportation to a repair shop in Poland is often fully covered, unless a total loss has occurred under German conditions.
Towing and Storage Costs
The victim can also claim compensation for renting a replacement vehicle during the repair period or the time needed to purchase a new car. Alternatively, the victim can demand compensation for the loss of use of their own vehicle (Nutzungsausfallschaden), which is typically calculated based on a lump-sum rate per day. If the damaged vehicle was used for commercial purposes, the specific amount of lost earnings must be determined.
Rental Car Costs or Usage Loss Compensation
The victim may also be reimbursed for other directly related costs, such as hotel expenses, travel tickets, destroyed personal belongings, and vehicle registration fees.
Damaged Personal Belongings and Registration Fees
By understanding the full range of compensable expenses, ODSZKODOWANIE MOTOEXPERT NIEMCY can ensure that Polish clients involved in car accidents in Germany receive the maximum rightful compensation they are entitled to under German law.
