Normally, the opposing party's insurance company is only obliged to pay the repair costs and compensation for the resulting reduction in value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, it is actually possible to make a claim against the other party's fully comprehensive insurance for a total loss caused by an accident with a new car. However, if the damage to the vehicle can be repaired, the insurance company will generally only reimburse the repair costs. In addition, you are entitled to payment of the reduction in value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You are only entitled to a new car if it would be unreasonable to expect you to use a repaired vehicle. The reason for unreasonableness is that the defect in the accident vehicle cannot be remedied by a repair. To do this, the accident report must first and foremost establish significant damage. However, according to a recent judgement by the Federal Court of Justice, certain criteria must be met, which we explain in more detail

Justice confirmed certain criteria in its judgement of 29 September 2020 with the file number VI ZR 271\/19 as to when a new vehicle must be reimbursed after an accident with a new car:<\/p>\n<p><div class='ff1-notification-box'><div class='ff1-notification-box__title'>Criteria for new cars as replacements<\/div><div class='ff1-notification-box__content'><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mileage at the time of the accident is less than 1,000 km<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">a vehicle registration has existed for a maximum of one

particular repeatedly causes legal problems in accident settlements, as there is no clear definition for this. However, the aspect of reasonableness is decisive. If, for example, welding work has been carried out on load-bearing vehicle parts in order to repair the damage, the vehicle owner can no longer be expected to continue using the repaired vehicle. However, courts disagree as to when a vehicle is to be categorised as significantly damaged according to traffic law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In principle, the injured party has the burden of proof. In this case, motor vehicle appraisals prepared by an independent expert are of considerable importance and of great benefit to you. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">The expert opinion documents for you whether the new car has suffered a significant reduction in value as a result of the accident. The enforcement of the reduction in value determined by the expert then belongs in the hands of a specialised legal service provider such as fairforce.one. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">If all of the above conditions are met in a new car accident, insurers speak of a claim for compensation on a new car basis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>ATTENTION:<\/strong> <br \/><\/span>The injured party only has this claim if he actually buys a new car.
