NCAG clients are provided with accident damage assessments; valuations, pre and post repair examinations, expert witnesses for litigation and associated services in relation to the motor insurance industry. When a vehicle has been involved in an accident the normal process of a claim is through the insurance company. NCAG are then employed by the insurer to assess the damage costs.

Our assessment of circumstances of loss procedure is as follows:

• Upon receipt of the instruction, the admin clerk immediately contacts the insured to notify them of the assessment and that they will be contacted for an appointment. The assessor personally contacts the insured to set up an appointment.
• A confirmation letter is sent via email to the insurer notifying them that contact has been made and that an appointment has been scheduled
• The vehicle is assessed and the assessor supplies the admin clerk with a report
• In the case of the vehicle being uneconomical to repair, the insured is advised of the vehicle being a “write off” and the vehicle is uplifted from the panel beater to avoid storage costs
• The de-registration certificate is also requested from the bank/insured. Once the document is received, an AOL is drawn up and sent to the insurer for authorization.
• The report is captured and sent to the insurance clerk
• Authorization is then sent to the repairer and receipt is confirmed. The insured is then notified via SMS of authorization being sent to the repairer
• The insurance clerk is notified via email of progress of assessment.
