Due to the presence of other cars, trucks, pedestrians, and animals, traveling in Victoria can occasionally be hazardous. So what should we do if we are involved in a collision with an animal instead of another vehicle?
My initial response is a concern for the animal in question; let’s face it, the animal will usually be injured or killed. As an animal lover, I am irritated when driver and passenger safety compels me to maintain a steady path.
Based on my observations, these events are more likely to occur at night and near grasslands (where the animals congregate to feed). However, when traveling through this region, reduce speed and be especially vigilant for signs of animal occupancy.
The sight of a large macropod (the family to which kangaroos and wallabies belong) munching quietly by the side of the road causes my heart to nearly race. Where there is one, there are always more!
The accidental striking of an animal is neither criminal nor your responsibility. However, you must observe some rights and obligations after striking an animal.
Follow these steps after hitting an animal:
After the road has been made safe, you should do a vehicle inspection and take photographs. There will likely be visual damage, and there may also be structural damage depending on the animal’s size. For example, after a collision with an animal, you must always get your vehicle inspected by a body shop.
If an animal has damaged your vehicle, you can still SELL YOU CAR FOR CASH. Numerous businesses and buyers specialise in purchasing totaled, salvaged, or otherwise damaged cars.
You are not compelled to turn over your vehicle to your insurer.
Following a kangaroo accident, you have the following options for selling a car:
Your best option will be determined by the condition of your vehicle, its make and model, and your level of technical knowledge.
Depending on the type and model of your automobile, a private buyer may be willing to pay more. However, this depends on your location and the make and model of the vehicle.
In addition, selling privately necessitates scheduling a time for prospective purchasers to examine and evaluate the vehicle’s condition.
You may also need to negotiate the price and who pays for towing costs if the vehicle breaks down.
Selling a car in pieces can generate a more significant profit than selling it as a whole because each component of your vehicle may fetch a higher price than the vehicle itself, particularly if it has extensive body damage.
This is, however, only sometimes the case. If the most costly components of your vehicle, such as the drive system, are destroyed, it may be challenging to negotiate a fair price. So even if your car is not damaged, you must know how to disassemble it to separate its parts.
Regardless of its make or model, if you sell your vehicle to a junkyard or scrap yard, you will likely be rewarded for its scrap metal value.
To prevent paying further towing fees, you should determine if a local yard offers free service.
Online vehicle sales may be the most effective way. You can acquire more accurate quotes and determine if a firm operates in your area if you sell it online.
