    Who Pays for Vehicle Damage Following a Car Accident?

    After a car accident, you will have plenty of questions, but one of the biggest might be who will pay for your vehicle’s damage. The answer will depend on the circumstances of the accident – including who was at fault for the accident itself. Also, it will depend on the type of insurance coverage the at-fault driver has or if the at-fault driver was even present at the scene.

    When Another Driver Is at Fault

    If another driver caused the accident, they are responsible for all damages – including vehicle repairs. In this situation, the driver should have vehicle insurance and their insurance will cover the costs of your vehicle repairs as well as their own. If they do not have insurance and you have collision coverage on your plan, the collision coverage will take on the costs. You also have the option of suing the other driver for their responsibility to pay for your vehicle damage.

    Liability insurance covers damage one driver does to another driver’s vehicle. If you have car damage that needs repair, the other driver’s property damage liability coverage of their insurance will take over. Illinois has required minimums for liability insurance, which include:

    • $25,000 for bodily injury per person
    • $50,000 for bodily injury per accident
    • $20,000 for property damage

    Liability insurance is what covers the damages for the other drivers, not the policyholder.

    When the Other Driver Does Not Have Insurance

    If the other driver does not have insurance, your uninsured or underinsured coverage can take over. You will have coverage for bodily injuries under this policy. There are minimum limits in Illinois, and you are required to carry $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident minimum.

    If the other driver doesn’t have liability insurance or their insurance company will not admit that their driver was at fault, you may need to bring in the assistance of an attorney. An attorney can help negotiate with the car insurance company on your behalf. If the driver was negligent and also broke the law by driving without insurance, you may be able to file a suit against them in civil court for your vehicle damage as well as any injuries you sustained because of the accident.

    Also, if insurance is denying that their driver is at fault or they are trying to place some of the liability on you, an attorney can help. Attorneys know the tactics used by insurers to pay as little as possible or to get out of making any payments. While you are recovering from your injuries there is no point in battling insurance – instead, contact an attorney.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
