The insurance company offered me $25,000 for my total loss, but I thought I was being shortchanged. After contacting National Appraisers, the offer increased to over $40,000 in just 10 days!
What is diminished value?
Diminished value is the loss in market value of a vehicle caused by an accident. It is measured as the difference in the fair market values of a vehicle right before and right after an accident.
Determining the two fair market values requires evaluation of the vehicle history, a line by line review of the final itemized repair bill, and market research. There is no instant diminished value calculator that can determine diminished value because there are so many factors that have to be taken into account.
Engaging an expert appraiser that specializes in diminished value claims can assist to expedite the maximum settlement for a diminished value claim.
Even if the accident happened years ago, depending on the location of where the accident took place, you may still be entitled to the diminished value from an accident!
A car dealership appraised my car thousands of dollars less since I had my accident. My car was fixed very well, but it is not worth as much. Within two weeks of contacting National Appraisers, we received a check for $3,600 for diminished value!
