Road side Accident - Please help
Hi!
So this morning I was driving to work and an indian guy came and hit his vehicle on the back of my car. My vehicle is faily new and still under the warrenty from the purchasing company. I was late for work, the only thing I could do was to take his number and let him go.
Due to the nature of the accident I'm going to have to replace the rear buffer of the car. Car is on Full Insurance. (comprehensive insurance). when I checked with the purchases service center, they tell me that the part can be replaced, but the insurance will pay only 80% of the total cost and I must bare the 20% balance.
Since this accident wasnt my fault, should I pay this 20% or when I go to the police, can I ask them to ask the faulty driver who came an knocked on my car and damaged it to pay it? how does the law work in Qatar for this type of an incident. 4
please shed some light in this matter. no silly comments pls!
thank u very much!
As per my experience:
1. Call that guy, and both together visit nearest police station with your rides ASAP.
2. Police will inspect both vehicles and issue you a report. You will also receive an SMS to visit that guy's insurance company.
3. Visit his insurance company with police report. They will open a claim and give required documents to you.
4. Take those documents to your car agency's workshop and they shouldn't charge you even a single penny. It should be FREE of cost repair for you.
