Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most important questions about accident damage reports.

How much does an accident damage report cost?

The cost of an expert report depends on the extent of the damage. If the accident was not your fault, the other party

How long does it take to prepare an expert report?

We generally prepare your expert report within 48 hours of inspecting the damage – digitally, efficiently and to recognised professional standards.

Do I need an expert report after an accident?

An independent expert report protects your claim with the insurer. It documents the damage neutrally and provides the basis for a fair settlement.

Which cantons do you serve?

We operate throughout German-speaking Switzerland, with a focus on Eastern Switzerland (the cantons of Thurgau, St. Gallen and Zurich, including the Winterthur area).

Can your expert reports be used in court?

Yes. Since 1 January 2025, privately commissioned expert reports (party-appointed reports) have been treated as documentary evidence and are therefore admissible in court; the court assesses their evidential value freely in each case. As certified VFFS members, we prepare reports in accordance with recognised standards – both as party-appointed and court-appointed experts.
