Damage assessment after a road accident
Accident reports in Cologne – document the full damage
After a non-fault accident, we independently document the damage pattern, repair method and value-related items. Mobile inspections are available at the vehicle’s location in Cologne.
More than a repair estimate
A repair-shop estimate focuses on repairs. An accident report also records the vehicle’s condition, extent of damage, plausibility and possible financial consequences.
Photos alone often do not show which parts are affected, which measurements were taken or why a particular repair method is necessary.
- Impact area and direction
- Repair method, parts and labour
- Separation of prior damage
- Case-specific financial values
Independent choice after an accident
After a non-fault liability accident, the injured party can generally appoint an independent vehicle expert.
A full report may be disproportionate for very minor damage. We can clarify whether compact documentation is more appropriate.
