Hello together, I hope I didn’t miss anything during the research. Otherwise please delete. I had an accident with a foreign driver almost half a year ago. The day after the accident I presented my car to my contract workshop and got an expert appointment for in 2 weeks as well as a repair appointment in another week. In total a little over 20 days until the transfer of the unrepaired vehicle to the workshop came to order. (I then had a workshop replacement car from that point on). -The report noted “Vehicle is ready to drive but not traffic safe because headlights are broken (damage to lighting)” -A vehicle category of €50/day was chosen as the daily rate for the failure of use. Now my lawyer informed me that I would have had a duty to reduce damage and should have chosen an earlier workshop date. There would not be a right to use failure. I am not 12 hours after the accident to the workshop and I also gave the repair order there immediately. The appointment for the expert and the repair was given to me and I did not use the vehicle except for a few exceptional situations under tags until the repair. I assume that I have the fullest claim to the loss of use. Why do I ask the question here and not the lawyer? -The damage matter is already about a Half a year (foreign insurer) The paper mountain is enormous. The jurisdiction of the case has changed several times. I have the impression that the firm wants to finally get rid of the case (which I can understand). Therefore I would like to have the opinion of you whether it is promising for me to ‘discuss’ with my lawyer about the matter or let the matter be based on itself. But after all, this is not about little money.
