Recover Your Car's Value After an Accident!
Did you know that even if your car was in an accident up to two years ago, you might still be able to get thousands of dollars in lost value back? If your car's been in a crash—no matter who was at fault—insurance might not have paid you everything you're owed. Let's talk about diminished value claims and how you can recover what's rightfully yours!

Frequently Asked Questions
Diminished Value is the loss in a vehicle's market value after it has been wrecked and repaired. Even if repaired perfectly, a vehicle with an accident history is worth less than an identical one with a clean history.
We use industry-standard formulas, analyze market data, and assess the severity of the damage, the quality of repairs, and your vehicle's pre-accident condition to determine a fair and accurate diminished value amount.
Typically, no. Your own policy (collision coverage) is designed to pay for repairs. You must file a diminished value claim against the at-fault driver's insurance company.
Insurance companies are businesses. Their initial offers are often very low or non-existent. A professional, USPAP-compliant appraisal from a trusted expert is the evidence you need to substantiate your claim and demand fair compensation.
This depends on your state's statute of limitations for property damage, which is typically 2-3 years from the date of the accident. It's always best to file as soon as possible after the repairs are completed.
Not exactly. The Appraisal Clause is a provision in your own insurance policy used to settle disputes about the *amount* of loss (e.g., repair costs or the vehicle's pre-accident value). A diminished value claim is a separate claim made against the at-fault party.
If you have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your policy, you may be able to file a diminished value claim against your own insurance company. Check your policy details or contact us for a review.
