Vehicle was found to be a total loss on reliable expert evidence; proper measure of damages is the difference between the pre-accident market value and the actual resale (scrap) value, plus reasonable incidental expenses (survey and towing); procedural defects in written expert reports required oral declaration and filing of hearsay notice before the reports could be admitted, which was corrected and oral expert evidence was admitted; accordingly damages assessed at pre-accident value plus fees less scrap value.
