Diminished Value & Accident Claim Appraisals

Recover your vehicle's lost value after an accident.

After an accident, a vehicle often loses market value even if fully repaired. This loss - Diminished Value (DV) - can be claimed from the at-fault party's insurer. Our ASCAA-certified appraisers quantify your loss using real-time market data, ensuring you receive the compensation you're owed.

What We Offer

  • Post-accident value loss calculation
  • Tort law basis documentation
  • State law navigation (e.g., Georgia's 17c formula)
  • Insurance negotiation support
  • Court-ready USPAP-compliant reports

Our Process

  • 1 Detailed inspection of repaired vehicle (frame, panels, alignment)
  • 2 Market research for comparable vehicles (pre- and post-accident)
  • 3 Calculation of lost value using accepted methods
  • 4 Full appraisal report documenting all findings

Real Case Study: BMW X5 Diminished Value

Jane's 2015 BMW X5 was rear-ended. The repair returned it to perfect condition cosmetically, but our appraisal revealed a $7,500 diminished value - more than 50% higher than the insurer's offer. By using our report in negotiations, Jane recovered the full amount, protecting her investment.
