Vehicle damage appraisal

Clarity and certainty after an accident

An accident can happen at any time – an independent vehicle damage appraisal gives you clarity – for cars and motorcycles. I prepare precise reports that help you assert your claims reliably against insurers or the party responsible for the accident.

Services at a glance

  • Third-party liability and comprehensive insurance reports (cars and motorcycles)
  • Damage appraisals for high-quality bicycles and e-bikes after an accident or fall
  • Restoration report: what does it cost to bring a damaged vehicle – including classic cars, track cars or modified vehicles – back to its original condition?
  • Short report / repair cost estimate
  • Evidence-preservation and private expert reports, also for submission to court

All reports are neutral, independent and meet the applicable standards – suitable for submission to courts and insurers. Usually within 24–48 hours after the inspection.

How it works

Three steps to your report

  1. Get in touch

    By phone, WhatsApp or via the form – with initial details about the damage.

  2. Inspection

    At your location or at the workshop – there you sign the order to prepare the report.

  3. Receive the report

    You and the insurer receive the finished report.

Your claims as an injured party

Repair costs

Based on the report – on a notional basis (payout without having the vehicle repaired) or actual costs.

Diminished value

For newer or high-value vehicles, because a repaired car still counts as an accident vehicle.

Loss of use / rental car

For the period in which the vehicle cannot be driven because of the accident.

Protective gear & accessories (motorcycle)

After a motorcycle accident I also document the damaged helmet, protective clothing and accessories so they can be claimed when the claim is settled.

Expert & lawyer fees

After an accident that was not your fault, the other party’s insurer usually bears these costs.

Accident scene at night: BMW and Subaru after a collision at an intersection, broken glass on the road
From practice: after an accident I secure the evidence while it is still there – vehicle positions, debris field and damage. This photo was taken on the day of the accident.
Grey BMW with scratch damage on the front wing and a torn-off wing mirror
Scratch damage after an encounter in oncoming traffic: an oncoming vehicle strayed into oncoming traffic, the two vehicles grazed each other; an evasive manoeuvre prevented worse. I document even such damage without gaps – from the wing to the torn-off wing mirror.

Is your vehicle something special?

Whether classic, track car or motorcycle: for each of them there are both – the report after damage and the valuation.
