12,000 vehicles were burned during the revolts after Nahel’s death. What happened to them, and how to get reimbursed? Response elements.
More than a week after the revolts, the streets of Trappes (Yvelines) are still overflowing with charred vehicles. Small city cars, utilities or large sedans: these are all models to identify for insurers. For several days, it is the mission of Michel Gicquel, expert automobile. “We will examine the vehicle to see if there is indeed an engine and a gearbox”, he details. It is meticulous work to find the serial number of each vehicle. In total, his team must appraise 2,000 vehicles in record time.
Have insurance that covers the risk of fire
More than 12,000 cars were burned after Nahel’s death. To be able to be compensated, you must have insurance that covers the risk of fire. But you have to file a complaint and declare the loss within a period extended to 30 days. For the motorists insured only in civil liability, there is no insurance compensation. Other fees may also apply for the guarding of vehicles, up to 150 euros. France Assurance has quantified for the moment at 280,000 euros the cost of urban violence.
