Why You Should Never Accept the Insurer’s First Smash Repair Suggestion

After a car accident most people just want things sorted quickly. You want your car fixed and you want life to return to normal. So when the insurer calls and suggests a repairer it can feel like a relief. One less decision to make. One less thing to worry about.

On paper it sounds simple. In reality this is where many drivers make a costly mistake.

At Melbourne Collision Repair Centre we see it all the time. Local drivers accept the insurer’s first smash repair suggestion without realising they have a choice. Weeks later they come to us frustrated because the repair quality is poor parts do not match properly or hidden damage was never addressed.

This article explains why the insurer’s first suggestion is not always in your best interest and what you should do instead.

Why Insurers Push Their Preferred Repairers
From the outside it looks like insurers are helping. They say they are recommending a trusted repairer. What usually happens behind the scenes is different.

Insurers often have agreements with certain repair shops. These arrangements are built around cost control speed and volume. The repairer gets a steady flow of work. The insurer gets predictable pricing and faster claim processing.

The insurer’s priority is settling the claim efficiently. Your priority is getting your car repaired properly and safely. Those two priorities do not always align.

How to Maximise My NDIS Budget? A NDIS Funding Cheat Sheet

Having a disability shouldn’t affect your quality of life.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) helps more than 250,000 Australians with the support and care they need to live healthy, independent lives. With your own NDIS plan you’ll receive annual funding to pay for services, supports and equipment to promote your health and wellbeing, without placing you in financial distress.

Whether you’re about to organise your first plan, or you’ve been receiving NDIS support previously, the NDIS can change lives – but there is a limit to the funding available. This makes it crucial you understand how to best allocate your budget to support your unique needs and goals.

Offering control and choice over your care, or the care of a loved one, Care Squared is committed to helping NDIS participants and their families get the full benefits of their plan’s funding. Here are our top tips for understanding, accessing and allocating your NDIS budget.

Understand your NDIS funding categories
It’s important to know what NDIS funding is available to you before you start spending it. There are currently three buckets where your funding may be allocated. These are:

Core Supports
Capacity Building Supports
Capital Supports
Let’s break down the purpose of each category before we dive into your specific NDIS funding approach.

Core supports are aimed at helping you in your everyday life. This is broken down into four categories including: Assistance with daily life, consumables, transport, and assistance with social and community participation.

Your core budget is your most flexible as you can typically use funds allocated in each category to purchase support in another category (though this is not always the case. Please consult with your representative of the National Disability Insurance Agency for more information).
