Total Loss Appraisal Clause and Diminished Value Reviews

Discover Our Exceptional Services

Whether you drive a car, motorcycle, truck, or RV, accidents are an unfortunate part of reality, making insurance essential. However, in the absence of an Agreed Value policy, the insurance company has the final say on the settlement amount for a vehicle considered a total loss. Insurance companies evaluate a vehicle's worth based on its make, model, mileage, condition, accident history, and depreciation. The Appraisal Clause offers a solution for disagreements on total loss claims by permitting either party to request an independent appraisal. To activate the Appraisal Clause, a policyholder needs to send a letter to the insurance company, stating the disagreement and asking for an appraisal. This is where our role begins - we step in to represent you in the appraisal clause process and strive to secure the fair value of your vehicle.

Diminished Value refers to the reduction in a vehicle's market value resulting from damages incurred in an accident. The moment a vehicle is involved in an accident, its market value diminishes, even after complete repairs. This is due to the perception that a vehicle is less valuable once it has been in an accident. Often, even when a car is fully restored post-accident, its value remains lower than its pre-accident worth. To recoup this lost value, consumers are advised to file a diminished value claim with their insurance provider.
