Salvage Title Details
When a vehicle has been damaged beyond standard repair, it goes through several processes. The insurance agency usually declares the care irreparable and may be considered totaled. It is issued a salvage title so if it is used in the future, the history is known that someone was involved in an accident which damaged the car immensely.
Some car companies take these automobiles and repair them to a serviceable degree. Unfortunately, many are not fixed completely, and there may be various defects due to the previous accident. When this causes harm to the new owner, he or she may have the ability to seek legal recourse.
After some repairs are completed on salvage title vehicles, the car company sells them well above the value they are worth either before or after the incident. However, in order to ensure a sale occurs, these companies may intentionally hide the fact that the car was previously damaged beyond standard repair.
While this is fraud, it becomes a serious issue when this leads to further harm to the car and injury to the driver or passenger. It is then that the company may face charges and a civil suit for monetary damages. Compensation and additional funds may be requested for medical treatment and the loss of transport.
