Motorcycle Expert After a No-Fault Accident
Motorcycle damage is often underestimated — from hidden frame damage to destroyed protective gear. Your own independent expert secures the full claim. In a no-fault accident, the opposing liability insurer covers all costs — €0 for you.
Your own expert — the opposing liability insurer pays
After a no-fault motorcycle accident, you are free to choose your own independent expert (§ 249 BGB). They assess the damage in full — including hidden damage, protective gear, and diminished value. The expert's fees are borne by the opposing liability insurer (BGH VI ZR 67/06). Commission the report before repairs begin (evidence preservation).
- Your own motorcycle expert — free choice
- Protective gear as a separate damage item
- Diminished value & total loss correctly assessed
- Fees reimbursable under BVSK-Honorartabelle
What is often underestimated in motorcycle damage claims
Unlike with cars, certain specifics are decisive for full reimbursement in motorcycle cases:
Hidden crash & frame damage
Bent forks, frame cracks, or bearing damage are often not immediately visible after a crash — a professional assessment uncovers them.
Protective gear is a separate damage item
A damaged helmet, motorcycle suit, protectors, gloves, and boots are all reimbursable. Keep the items as evidence.
Higher total-loss rate
Motorcycle accidents more frequently result in an economic total loss — the correct replacement value and residual value determine your payout.
Diminished value (merkantile Wertminderung)
Especially for newer, rare, or high-value machines, a residual loss in market value remains after repair — a standalone, reimbursable item.
