The estimate he gave me included labor hours for the repair and VAT.\\n\\nIf I receive the compensation from my neighbor's insurance, do I have to actually carry out the repair? Or, can I keep the money without repairing the damage? This is legal in my country. If I keep the money and repair the damages in the future at a cheaper shop, is that also permissible?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"The money you received is compensation for damage to your vehicle. Once you receive it, it becomes your property, and you may use it as you wish. You may choose to repair the vehicle at any dealer, do the repair yourself, or not do the repair at all.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff00b76658b4c2329a6","tag":"Contemporary Life: Insurance","count":10}],"createdOn":"2025-06-12T19:25:31.708Z"}
