But the phenomenon is significant: in fact, a new institute of independent damage assessors has appeared in our country. Of course, even before this fateful day, numerous expert offices worked in Russia, but there is little sense in them, because they resort to independent examination in rare, often disputed cases. Usually the insurance company employees inspect the car themselves or even trust the documents from the traffic police.
Special requirements are immediately introduced for new appraisers. No random people! They must have state-approved certification documents and a certificate that they are included in the state register of expert evaluators of the Ministry of Justice.
An interesting transformation: now, if you suddenly find that the expert is an interested person (representative of the insurer, relative, etc.), they will immediately remove him from business. Previously, this was not the case. Even if you yourself are a participant in the accident, you can freely assess your damage. Democracy!
