In this Quick Tip Video from Society of Collision Repair Specialists, Michael Giarrizzo of DCR Systems is joined by Sean Preston, managing attorney with Coverall Law, to discuss who an insurance carrier actually owes when handling a collision claim and what that responsibility means for the repair process.

The discussion examines the importance of OEM repair procedures, safety inspections, and understanding potentially conflicting policy provisions related to aftermarket parts. They emphasize that a safe and proper repair requires restoring the vehicle as closely as possible to its pre-loss condition without compromising necessary repair procedures.
