Diminished Value Auto Appraisals
Diminished value, in the context of insurance, refers to the reduction in a vehicle's market value after an accident, even if the vehicle is repaired to its pre-accident condition. It is the loss of value due to the vehicle having a history of being in an accident, regardless of the quality of the repairs. This loss in value can affect the vehicle's resale or trade-in price.

Appraisal Clause - Auto Total Loss Settlement & Repair Value Dispute Resolution Services.
The Appraisal Clause in an Auto or Property insurance policy allows the policy holder to demand an independent appraisal of the loss when there is a value disagreement with the insurance carrier. If you and your insurer can't agree on a Repair or Total Loss settlement value, you have the right to hire an appraiser via the appraisal provision in your auto policy. This provision allows you and the company to each hire appraisers. The two appraisers will then select a third appraiser otherwise known as the "Umpire". If the appraisers cannot agree on the amount of the loss, the umpire is consulted. The amount agreed to by any two of three parties is the amount paid for the loss.
The Process of Appraisal is a binding contractual process available to settle Valuation & Repair Scope Disputes between policy holders and their insurance companies. Not all insurance policies have appraisal clauses, but most Oregon, Washington & Idaho policies do. If it does, consider invoking it and demanding that a licensed third-party appraiser evaluate your appraisal claim. In the state of Oregon, the insurance carrier is required to pay the appraiser's fee for any agreed settlement figure above their last offer.
Our service area covers all of Western Washington and Oregon. Whether you reside in the greater Seattle/Tacoma, Portland/Vancouver markets, or any city in between, our team of Appraisal Clause Experts is available to assist you.
