Collision in Weiden: 60,000 euros damage and no injuries!

In the tranquil city of Weiden, there was a lot of mess on Thursday afternoon when a 24-year-old driver celebrated a serious shearing violation shortly after 4:00 p.m. on Nikolaus-Otto-Straße. When turning to Regensburger Straße, he overlooked a road user coming from the right, which led to a frontal collision of the two vehicles in the intersection. Fortunately, both drivers remained unharmed, but the total damage added up to around 60,000 euros, so that the vehicles were no longer ready to drive and had to be towed immediately.

While the rescue work was in full swing, operating substances also left, which the Weiden fire brigade called on the scene in order to bind the danger substances quickly and professionally. As a result, the traffic had to be temporarily redirected, which was a significant impairment for the residents and commuters, but luckily the incident could continue to be handled without personal injury.

damage and liability in focus

In the case of such traffic accidents, the question of liability and damage regulation quickly arises. According to [lawyers' leaf.de] (https://anwaltsblatt.anwaltverein.de/de/themen/kanzlei-praxis/verkehrsgläfmandat-fehlenquellen-beim-Blech damage), it is important for damaged people to be aware that the scope of the legal duties depends on the range of mandate and the circumstances of the individual case. Interesting legal aspects can appear in particular in traffic accidents, for example if several parties are involved.

This can lead to conflicts of interest that require careful handling. Lawyers should make sure not to take over multiple representatives if such conflicts are suspected. Because the prohibition of representing reluctant interests can not only lead to legal consequences, but also to the loss of contractual fee claims.

The role of insurance and the legal basis

A central point is also the billing in the event of damage. According to the guidelines for damage positions, various billing modalities must be taken into account. If you want to have the repair costs billed, depending on the situation and use of the vehicle, you need specific evidence, such as a proper documentation about the repair or actually incurred costs. Depending on the billing modality, the regulations on VAT can also differ: it must always be replaced when it is actually incurred, but not with fictional billing.

It remains to be seen whether the accident participants have learned from this incident and how they can be preventive in the future. Forced the exchange in road traffic and sensitized the travelers for such risks, at best it could be a little calmer on the streets.
