LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO MOTOR REPAIR OF AN INSURED CAR

Legal problems concerning the business of repairing insured automobiles involve two types of contracts: insurance against loss contracts and hire of work contracts. When insured automobiles are damaged, the insurance company in question must pay an indemnity to the insured to cover the costs of repairing the damaged automobiles and restoring them to a condition matching their condition prior to being damaged. However, the repairs must be done under the specifications of the concerned insurance company.

The hire of work contract does not have a standard form and is not regulated by the state. This results in disputes regarding contracts, quality, repair costs and insurance claim payouts, auto repair guarantees, and the liability of businesses engaged in the repairing of automobiles.

There are no agencies charged with the duty of supervising, controlling, and monitoring the auto repair business in a clear manner. In the view of the researcher, an integrated approach to supervising, controlling, and monitoring the repair of insured automobiles should be adopted. To this end, existing related laws should be amended so as to fit the situation involving the repairing of insured automobiles. The laws of the United States of America, the Peopleís Republic of China, and the Republic of Singapore should be used as guidelines for solving problems encountered in the business of repairing insured automobiles.
