New Procedures for Vehicle Assessment and Repair After Accidents in Northern Tanzania

TLDR

• The Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (TIRA) in Northern Tanzania has introduced new procedures for vehicle assessment and repair after accidents.
• The meeting took place in Arusha, where TIRA's Northern Region Manager, Dr. Emmanuel Lupilya, emphasized the importance of collaboration between garages, insurance companies, and authorities.
• Under the new procedures, the nearest garage to the accident site will be the first to assess and transport the vehicle for evaluation.
• Damage assessment will involve collaboration between the garage, experts, and an appraiser from the relevant insurance company.
• Customers will still have the right to choose their preferred garage, but the initial process will start at the accident location.
