Lisävauriiden

Lisävauriiden is a Finnish term referring to damages that are discovered after an initial assessment or that occur as a consequence of the original loss. The concept is commonly used in insurance, construction and restoration, and liability contexts in Finland. Lisävauriudet can include damages that become evident only during repairs, or hidden conditions such as moisture, rot, or structural weakness that were not visible at the first inspection.

In insurance, lisävauriudet are damages that are identified as part of the claim process, often during or after repair work. The insurer may need to include these additional damages in the compensation, subject to policy terms, coverage limits, deductibles, and questions of causation and liability. Proper documentation and timely reporting are important to ensure that lisävauriudet are considered in settlements.

In construction and property restoration, lisävauriudet can emerge during the course of work, requiring change orders, revised budgets, and adjusted timelines. Accurate assessment and documentation help ensure that all necessary repairs are funded and completed to restore the property to its pre-loss condition.

In transport, automotive, and liability claims, hidden damages discovered after initial repairs can influence liability decisions and the extent of compensation. Often, experts such as surveyors, engineers, or appraisers are engaged to determine the extent and cause of lisävauriudet.

Overall, handling lisävauriudet relies on thorough documentation, professional assessment, and clear communication with insurers, contractors, and involved parties, guided by policy provisions and applicable law.
