Questão jurídica principal
Whether the reopened damage reassessment under § 42 GVG justified a higher indemnity and an independent expert appraisal
Decisão extraída
The appellant failed to show any unrecognized damage within the meaning of § 42 GVG; the request for an independent expert appraisal was unnecessary.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant relied on invoices and self-produced work logs, but this did not prove hidden damage missed at the first assessment. Performing work in-house is allowed, but additional costs remain at the owner's risk and cannot be shifted to the insurer. No work reports or payroll records substantiated the claimed hours.
