Automobile Proof Of Loss?

[BMW Fanatic]

Hey guys,

Some of you might be aware of an accident I had a couple of weeks back, some guy rear-ended me at a turn while I was stopped. He's claimed full responsibility and my deductible has been waived. Sadly, I can't get it in for repairs at my preferred body shop until the 6th of February, but whatever it's not that noticeable.

Question; What is the 'Automobile proof of loss' document about?

They sent it to me with my claim information in the post, if I fill this out do I get a cheque or something to make up for the extra depreciation I will occur at time of sale?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd call my insurance guy but he's off until Tuesday so that's a no go.

Thanks guys/gals (looking at you Julie )

All I could find for you (which you may have read already):

""A proof of loss form is a formal document that you must complete in order to make a claim under your insurance policy. You can contact your adjuster to discuss the need to submit a proof of loss form, or your adjuster may provide you with a blank form as required by the Insurance Act.

As well, we may also send you a proof of loss form showing the amount approved by our appraiser, along with a copy of our appraisal. ""

Looks to me to be just another form to fill out in the claims process!

Why not just call your agent?

an automobile proof of loss for is a document that you fill out when your car has been declared a total loss or been stolen. or is beyond repairable.. at that point you would write what was in or installed on the car at the time of accident.. preferably all OEM parts. but if your car is fixable please contact your insurance or agent prior to filling out that form.

PM ME if you have any other questions with dealing with the matter .


thanks
