Recover Your Losses With a Diminished Value Claim

Diminished value is the loss in your vehicle’s market value after an accident, even after repairs. Most states only allow third-party claims with the at-fault driver’s insurance, but if you’re in Georgia, you can also file a first-party claim with your own insurance.

Understanding Diminished Value

After an accident, your vehicle loses market value even if it’s fully repaired. Insurance companies are obligated to compensate you for this loss, however, 90% of the time they make low initial offers, which underestimates this loss.

Our patent-pending methodology calculates the true diminished value of your vehicle. We issue an instant and online appraisal report that provides the evidence you need to claim the full amount you deserve. By law, insurers are obligated to consider this evidence and compensate you accordingly.

Despite the fact that many individuals tend to agree and may potentially lose out on rightful compensation, most insurance companies calculate Diminished Value using the 17c formula. 

In spite of its shortcomings, the 17c formula allows adjusters to adjust certain compensation amounts based on the specific situation.

If you use our proven claim process and the insurance company does not pay at least the appraisal cost, we will gladly refund 100% of the appraisal cost.

Typically, loss in value claims are resolved within two to six weeks. However, some may be settled even sooner. It can be beneficial to regularly check in with the insurance company to expedite the process.

If you find that your claim is being delayed and the insurance company is uncooperative, you may consider filing a complaint with the department of insurance in your state. This step can hold them accountable and prompt a response regarding your claim.
