Recover Your Losses With a Diminished Value Claim
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.
