You will find a lot of useful information on the RAMLA (Road Accident Management & Legal Action) web pages.
First of all we have to definite what we have to understand will be full and fair motor accident damage compensation. But even before doing so, we have to clarify that the South African System of motor car accident compensation, is split off into the sector of bodily injuries, which is dealt with very different to that of material damage compensation. The web pages you are browsing currently only focus on the material and civil claim for you to receive the full and fair traffic accident damage compensation occurred to your vehicle.
The South African law say: You should be materially compensated so that you will be able to have your damaged auto repaired to the state it was in, before the traffic collision impact. That means either you cannot expect a new car (some exemptions excluded here i.e. if your motor vehicle is very much new, so saying not older than a year since being on the road the first time) if your one is fairly used and the marks of wear and tear are visibly impacting you auto value.
But even an older motor car must be repaired to manufacturer's standards to maintain the roadworthy status of the then repaired vehicle.
So to say it in short, get it back on track, but do not try to make a fortune out of it, as that can easily backfire on you. But this does not mean you have to agree to too many compromises in terms of your motor car repairs. To have your damaged car back into the state it had been before, you need to prepare a solid base of value analysis for your compensation, either by a qualified repair quotation or by a professional damage assessment.
But nothing is always stringent and you cannot take one argument alone to find the correct compensation basis. There may even be differences in what you might have to accept as motor car accident repair compensation, in either a third party claim or a claim you direct to your own comprehensive motor insurance policy.
A claim launched with you motor insurance company will have to look on what you have covered under your policy and probably have some contributions to accept, due to the content of your policy.
A 3rd party claim, directed to the perpetrator however must give you full compensation and no clauses, as insurance excess or other limitations in your insurance policy apply.
In most cases, you should have some professional support. If you want to get the matter sorted out quickly, possibly with less costs as possible, and being compensated for your car accident damage fairly, you should consider and let a car accident damage claims specialist such as RAMLA, or your local attorney working for you.

Salvage value in terms of a motor car involved in a vehicle crash is the remaining value "scrap" of the damaged motor vehicle in the unrepaired status, if the repair costs to rebuild the damaged vehicle are higher than the market value.
The evaluation of the salvage will mostly be found throughout a vehicle damage assessment.Practically, someone must dispose the "scrap" and often the damaged car is offered so called salvage dealers. The amount they are prepared to pay for the "scrap" will be a market related indicator, and must be compared with the salvage value listed in any vehicle damage assessment.
Salvage comes into play when it should not be worth to repair the damaged vehicle economically, meaning the repair cost of the damaged vehicle will exceed the market value, and the car will be called written off.
Depending on type, make and condition, the salvage of the motor car can still be a substantial amount of money. When it comes to pay compensation for the car accident damages, the market value must be applied and the salvage will be either deducted from the amount to pay for the "written off" motor car, and the party owning the "scrap" will remain the total loss car for own disposal.
Be careful when considering remaining the "scrap" as part of your traffic accident damage compensation. If you like remain your car scrap you must know what you will do with it, either repair or sell the salvage yourself, before you decide on that.
It may sometimes be wise to hand over the scrap to the liable party or the insurance company and enforce full compensation in cash.

Vehicle Damage Assessment is an excellent tool to verify any car crash damage professionally. Such motor car damage assessment has to be done by a qualified assessor. Motor car damage assessments are very important to prove any damage suffered in a traffic accident in order to claim for compensation to repair the damaged auto.
A well done motor vehicle damage assessment, enhance the quality and the documentation of your car accident claim tremendously and may even help with further investigations when you have to determine liability for the car crash in a later dispute.
Most insurance companies will usually undertake the vehicle damage assessment swiftly, after a claim is reported to them, so that they can verify the material damage to your car and take the findings as a basis for a settlement offer. If so far all other factors are sorted out to the insurance claim negotiators satisfaction, you can expect a settlement offer, to pay for the damage.
An independent and professional vehicle damage assessment serves many purposes during a claim for car accident compensation:
1. it proves the damage professionally, and is much more valuable than a vehicle repair quotation
2. the damage can be repaired during the claim is still in process, without the risk of losing proof of the damage
3. it serves as relatively independent proof, listing the motor vehicle damage comprehensively, and it must show correct repair costs and parts, according to the manufacturer's specifications
4. it will serve as a firm basis to formulate any claim value, avoiding disadvantages.
You should not take it for granted that every motor vehicle damage assessor meets the criteria of a qualified and independent assessor. It happens often that the assessment may lean in the favour of the party that ordered the car damage assessment. An assessor sent by an insurance company has the general task to minimise the pro rata damage to serve the insurance companies to pay only what could not be avoided.
RAMLA can recommend qualified assessors. For more information, please follow the link in the heading.

After a car accident on South African pubic roads, where any kind of damage or bodily injuries occurs, a debate of liability and material damage over involved vehicles may arise.
Some people or organisations as motor insurance companies dealing with car accident damages every day or at least have some experience created some strategies to be applied silently to hamper the process of a car accident compensation claim.
That may start on discussions of liability and or on damages effectively suffered in the motor car crash and the victim of a traffic accident has the task to proof what he/she is claiming for. The deemed liable party or their motor insurance company can create lots of obstacles that may end as a nightmare.

When you have been successful in the legal part of the struggle for your car accident compensation, or concluded a settlement with the liable party, you have to wait for the money to come in. The challenge is to ensure that the liable party is able and willing to pay; if not a liquid insurance company stands behind the liable party.
If this is not the case and no money is comming in, you must obtain a warrant for execution and send the sheriff with the warrant obtained in court to collect the money, and /or attach valuables to the extent that it will cover the bill, including costs.
When the sheriff's attempt to collect the payment for your motor vehicle damages is not successful, you will receive a "nulla bona" report from the sheriff, which means that he could not find valuables equivalent to your warrant, and you are in trouble.
Further investigations will be necessary then. Therefore, you can appoint a professional claim collector, who knows how to proceed to explore the background of the party in arrears in many investigative manners, to finally make the party paying or at least paying off the money owed.
A RAMLA listed claim collector may be of good use
