Learn how to get an expert report for your vehicle depreciation claim. Complete guide covering authorized companies, costs, and step-by-step process.

What is an Expert Report?

An expert report (ekspertiz raporu) is a technical document prepared by authorized companies that determines the extent of damage and depreciation value of your vehicle after an accident. This document is crucial for insurance claims and court cases.

The report includes detailed assessment of damage, repair costs, and the resulting loss in market value. Courts and insurance companies rely heavily on these reports when determining compensation amounts.
