The result of the auto-technical examination is an expert opinion. The outcome of the trial largely depends on him. In order not to be mistaken in choosing an expert institution, you can focus on a number of signs characteristic of organizations that you can really trust.
1. An expert company specializes in carrying out an auto-technical examination, everything is in order with its constituent documents: there is an accreditation certificate, TIN and OGRN certificates, the Charter indicates the main types of expert activities.
2. The organization has many years of experience in the service market, has been certified in the voluntary certification system. You can make sure that you have a certificate using the company's website. Typically, a scanned document is placed in the "Calibration" or "Licenses" section. The certificate is valid for a certain period of time, you should pay attention to the expiration date. In the absence of a document on the site, you can request a copy of the certificate by e-mail or during a personal visit to the office.
3. The company's staff includes experts who are members of a self-regulatory organization of appraisers, which is confirmed by a certificate of membership in the SRO, as well as certificates of training and advanced training. Experts have certificates of conformity, diplomas of specialized education and advanced training, as well as mandatory work experience.
4. It will be important to have a legal department and support service.
5. Professional activity of an expert organization or its employee - an expert, is insured in a large insurance company. This information is contained in the liability insurance policy, which is posted on the official portal. Otherwise, you can ask the company to provide the specified information. Often all the necessary information about the company that is the executor, as well as about the expert or appraiser, is contained in the research agreement. Before concluding a contract, you must carefully study its terms.
6. When conducting an independent assessment, specialized programs are used to determine the calculation of damage. Consult an expert for preliminary information. All calculation methods are given in the expert opinion.
7. The company's website contains information about services and prices; contacts, data on the qualifications of employees are indicated, and there are also attached scans of documents. However, not all expert organizations publish documentation in the public domain. In this case, you can send a request for the provision of copies of documents, the timing and preliminarily agree on the issues that will be submitted to the expert's permission by e-mail. As a rule, reliable companies are willing to provide such information.
8. When carrying out a forensic examination, you should take care of the availability of contact information of the appraiser so that the court has the opportunity to call the expert. It is necessary to acquire contacts of several organizations at once, as insurance companies often object to the choice of the vehicle owner. To avoid unnecessary costs, it is better to declare the question of conducting an autoexamination in a civil process before considering the case on the merits. Otherwise, two expert opinions appear in the case materials, one of which was provided by the insurance company, the other - by the injured car owner. As a result, a third is appointed - a forensic examination, on the basis of which the court makes a decision.
9. All conditions of the research are clearly stated in the contract.
