I got rear-ended yesterday by a leasing car…the geometry of my car seem to be off, lines dont match around.
She had insurance from Lalux.
Can I please ask for some recommendations and advice how to deal with that situation so i dont get scammed by insurance? I dont have much experience with that.
Ps. Picture for reference

You tell your insurance too and they battle it out for you. Looks like a 10k damage atleast.
Imagine parking on two spots so you don’t get your car scratched and then you get this.
Hopefully this is just where the car got dropped after the incident. Sorry for your loss.
You will definitely get screwed over one way or another. If you actual car has that much damages, it’s a good chance that it is totalled
That picture doesn’t look like Luxembourg at all…
Send the accident report to your insurer, and ask them how to proceed. You typically get a quote for repair, you submit it to your insurance, wait for their OK before starting the repairs.
I think i got this without drinking coffee.
The car is from the US and got hit by someone who has Lalux! I wonder if the OP has a Colombian wife :). Regarding the insurance process, there will be a bit of back and forth.
Does nobody read posts to the end anymore?
@OP: My advice would be to let Lalux do its work and if you’re not happy with the appraisal, get a second opinion from a different bureau d’expertise (can recommend Dhasty and Chiesa)
You can’t really do much in this situation other than rely on your insurance company to hash it out with LaLux.
They have experts evaluating the damage and will tell you if it’s worth fixing (and up to what amount they’d be willing to pay).
If it isn’t economically fixable, they’ll give a flat amount and you get to do what you want with your car (i.e. sell it, have it fixed anyway …). That second option sucks a lot more, because if your car is old and was still in good condition, you’re not nearly getting enough to buy an equivalent car.
Good luck
