You may be entitled to thousands more for your vehicle’s diminished value or total loss claim!

TOTAL LOSS

Insurance company valuation too low? We provide independent market valuations and handle Right to Appraisal disputes to establish a fair Actual Cash Value for your total loss vehicle.

DIMINISHED VALUE

Even after proper repairs, an accident history can reduce your vehicle's resale value. We document that loss and pursue the diminished value claim on your behalf.

RIGHT TO APPRAISAL

If your policy contains an appraisal clause, we can represent you when you and your insurance company disagree on your vehicle’s value or the cost of repairs, including disputes involving your body shop’s repair estimate.

Serving vehicle owners throughout Florida, including West Florida, Central Florida, Tampa Bay, Greater Orlando, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Naples, Fort Myers and surrounding areas.

What is Diminished Value?

When your vehicle is involved in an accident, it may be worth less even after quality repairs.

Accident history reported through sources such as Carfax, AutoCheck and dealer inspections can negatively affect resale and trade-in value.

Diminished Value is the difference between your vehicle's market value before the accident and its value after repairs.

If you were not at fault, you may be entitled to recover that loss from the at-fault party's insurance company.

What is a total loss evaluation?

When your insurance company declares your vehicle a total loss, its settlement is based on the vehicle's Actual Cash Value (ACV).

If you believe their valuation is too low, you may have the right to challenge it. This is called the "Right to Appraisal"

We prepare independent market valuations using comparable vehicles and recognized valuation data to establish a properly supported ACV.

If your policy contains the appraisal clause, we can represent you through the Right to Appraisal process.
