Expert Witness Testimony

We have provided expert witness testimony in the following cases:

DIMINISHED VALUE

Did you realize you may be entitled to financial compensation for your vehicle’s loss of value after an accident?

Diminished Value is the amount of your vehicle’s pre-loss valuation that is not restored by the repair process. There are three types of Diminished Value:

  • Immediate Diminished Value: 
    This represents the difference in resale value before the accident vs. after the accident.
  • Inherent Diminished Value: 
    This represents the loss in value that occurs due to the fact that your vehicle now has an accident history. Even if your vehicle has been fully restored to pre-accident condition, Inherent Diminished Value occurs.
  • Repair-Related Diminished Value: 
    This represents the loss in value that occurs when your vehicle is not fully or properly restored to pre-accident condition. These kinds of improper repairs can mean that your vehicle is no longer as safe as it was before your accident. Ensuring safety is one of the most important reasons to get a post-repair inspection, especially after an accident that causes structural damage.

Recover Your Vehicle’s Diminished Value

Diminished value is the loss in market value that occurs when a vehicle is damaged and repaired. You may be entitled to receive compensation for this loss in value.

TOTAL LOSS VALUATIONS

Expert Total Loss Valuation and Support in the US, Canada and Australia.

What Is Total Loss? When the cost of repairing your vehicle outstrips its market value, or if it’s deemed unsafe, that’s a total loss. Remember, insurance companies have their methods, but your voice matters in this crucial decision. Don’t navigate this alone.

  • Insurance Offers vs. Fair Value. The insurance offer doesn’t always match up with what feels fair. Too often, these appraisals miss the mark, not truly reflecting your car’s value. This doesn’t mean you have to accept it. Ask us about the Appraisal Clause. It represents your right to challenge the initial insurance appraisal, and our unbiased consultants can help. Your insurance policy isn’t about their; it’s about protecting your interests.

  • Collision Safety Consultants: Your Ally. With us, total loss valuation is less about what the insurers say and more about fair play. We’re here to analyze, advocate, and assure you’re getting every dollar your vehicle warrants.
  • Nationwide Support, Personalized Service. Our team across the US, and our locations in Canada and Australia, are ready to inspect, evaluate, and advocate for your rights as a consumer. Total loss thresholds vary from state to state, and our local experts are there to help!
