CIC has taken up the new trend by car insurance companies in the market of opening up in house assessment centres. This means that in case of an accident, the accident vehicle is towed first any one of these assessment centres where the damage is quantified and then later on a garage is appointed to commence the repairs. While this procedure might take some time and slow down the motor insurance claims process, it helps to reduce the overall costs of the insurance claims. This is because of the prevalence of fraud in the industry and the practice of service providers and garages colluding to inflate repair costs.
