Assessment of financial damage
Assessment of damage is the determination of the cost of repairs for the reproduction or replacement of property that suffered as a result of flooding, fire or vandalism.
Independent assessment of damage is used by both the party affected and the party at fault for solving issues related to the indemnification of damage of property.
Direct loss is the current cost of reproduction, replacement or indemnification of market value of a subject of valuation without account of lost future benefits (National Standard 1 “General Provisions for Valuation of Property and Property Interests” approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1440 dated 10.9.2003).
