Know What Your Total Loss Car is Really Worth

Before you decide to accept a settlement offer on your total loss vehicle, it’s best to consider if you are getting a fair deal.  Many insurance companies sublet the valuation process for your total loss car to automated valuation companies.  You will hear a name like CCC or Mitchell from your insurance adjuster as the provider of the valuation for your totaled car.  At this point, our advice is to walk away from the cliff, don’t accept the total loss settlement until you fully understand and know the true worth of your car.

Start with our FREE assessment of your claim.  Find out if you QUALIFY to recover a loss caused by diminished value, totaled car value - even if it has a salvaged title or loss of vehicle use claim!

What qualifies as a total loss?

A total loss occurs when it will cost more to repair your vehicle than to replace it.  The insurance company will then obtain a value for what they think your car is worth and offer you a settlement.  There are many factors which must be considered before an accurate value for your car can be determined.  Condition, options, mileage on the vehicle and many other items must be considered to obtain an accurate value of your car.

Why doesn’t the insurance company get an accurate value for my car?

Several facts must be considered; the first is “over worked and under paid”-claims adjusters are usually entry level folks trying to make a living like everyone else.  They are hard pressed by management to settle claims in a limited amount of time. Some states have placed time limits on the length of time in which a claim must be settled, but this rarely influences the outcome of a claim. From our experience, the management teams of insurance companies are pressing for rapid settlement to: improve the company profitability, or to just make the manager look good! Neither of these factors will help you obtain a satisfactory settlement.
