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. 

Our team has been conducting DV Appraisals for insurance clients, attorneys, and the general public for over two decades. The methodology we use to determine Diminished Value has been adopted by other independent appraisers across the country. We have managed numerous Diminished Value claims over the years, including providing expert witness testimony.

If you have been in an accident that was not your fault, you might have a claim for DV. If you believe you have a claim for Diminished Value, please contact us, and a licensed adjuster will review your case free of charge.

After the vehicle repairs are completed, please email the repair estimate to claims@iasclaimsnetwork.com to check if you qualify for a DV claim.

The Appraisal Clause in an auto or property insurance policy permits the policyholder to request an independent appraisal of the loss when there is a disagreement on value with the insurance carrier. If you and your insurer are unable to agree on a repair or total loss settlement value, you have the right to engage an appraiser through the appraisal provision in your auto policy. This clause allows both you and the insurance carrier to hire appraisers. Subsequently, the two appraisers will select a third appraiser, referred to as the "umpire." If the appraisers cannot reach a consensus on the amount of the loss, the umpire's assessment is sought. The amount agreed upon by any two of the three parties determines the payment for the loss. 

The appraisal process is a binding contractual procedure available to resolve valuation ("ACV") and repair scope disputes between policyholders and their insurance carriers. While not all insurance policies contain appraisal clauses, most do. If your policy includes this clause, consider invoking it and demanding that a licensed third-party appraiser evaluate your claim.
