At least, in my humble opinion, he is truthful in this statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilatz 1st Gear June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 I kana accident. Knocked back my front bumper plus respray cost around 300. The other party rear bumper came off on left side now claim me $5.6k.

S4vtec 3rd Gear June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 On 6/7/2011 at 1:39 AM, Yeobh said: Right , why go for only the claim advisor. The company should be held responsible.Since no jail term is imposed, the fine amount should be 4 time the total $$ claim. Fraudluent amount x 100 times + mandatory 6 months jail for cheating. that is an effective deterent. Its not fair that the premiums go up every year due to practices like these at the expense of careful drivers.... suddenly i see that the move towards self claim regardless of whose fault which GIA has suggested previously starts to make sense!

Panelcraft_auto Neutral Newbie June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 The workshop should be in the newspaper soon, very soon. Some people say the public prosecutor normally prosecute the most culpable party first (the one whose hands are directly dirty).... if successfully prosecuted, then go after the rest of the feeding chain. The judge's decision will convince the rest to plead guilty and save taxpayers' money in prosecution time and effort. Good lah, wake up call for the whole industry. Always good to shake the box.

Zxcvb Turbocharged June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 Nobody working in the motorworkshop or insurance industry wanna make comment on this issue?? All I know is whenever there's a minor bump/scratch/dent on a vehicle, workshops will always want to "replace" the entire parts instead of "repair" for maximise profits, minimal work. But what the newspaper report on quoting new parts, but never really change the parts but keep the money in their own pocket - this one is really "industry standard" eh??

S4vtec 3rd Gear June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 i have seen ridiculouse accident claims where superficial scratches can snowball into internal structural damage + medical whiplash + all other nonsense ( loss of income ) etc.... GIA's self claim insurance is the right direction to curb these incidents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A5SB 1st Gear June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 This is the reason why I say a no fault insurance regime should be the way to go. Under this system, car owners involved in accidents will claim their own insurance regardless of whether they are at fault. This will force people to drive defensively and prevent fraudulent claims, because if they inflate their claims, they will only pay more in insurance next year. If this system makes all motor insurance 70% cheaper or better, I think it's worthwhile. Afterall having motor insurance is required by law, and most of us are safe drivers, theirs no reason for us to pay for others bad driving or bad fortunes. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
