Lawyer Utkin: if a car standing in the yard is damaged, you need to call the traffic police what to do if the car that was parked in the yard was damaged. After finding the car, he listed the necessary actions to the Prime agency.
According to the expert, it is imperative to call a traffic police officer, fix the damage in a photo, interview possible eyewitnesses, neighbors and contact the management company for CCTV footage. “The issue of finding a person or a car that damaged the applicant is of paramount importance, since after three months the traffic police can close the case, and the losses can be reimbursed only if there is a comprehensive insurance policy,” the expert added. If you suspect that children have damaged the car, you should contact the district police officer, he noted.
If the amount of damage exceeds five thousand rubles, then this can be qualified as a criminal offense under article 167 of the Criminal Code “Intentional destruction or damage property “with imprisonment for up to five years, Utkin said.
