Satisfied Auto Accident Settlement Recipient Tells Story, Praises Services of Diminished Value Auto Appraisers

Diminished Value Appraisals

Sheila Patterson wasn’t expecting to wake up Sunday morning to be dealing with the fallout of an automobile accident within 3 hours of opening her eyes.

However, indeed, Sheila was rear-ended while on her way to the grocery store for family’s weekly food shopping trip. Ironically, this was one of the few times she had ventured out on this trip without one of her children in tow, and it just so happened to be the day that she’d experience the first car accident she was ever involved in.

Sheila hurt her neck, in addition to jarring her shoulder significantly, both which ended up requiring physical therapy. However, in the interim period between the accident and establishment of necessary course of action for procedural treatment of her injuries, Sheila first had to deal with the insurance company holding her policy.

Sheila was a customer of a prominent insurance company, one with commercials on nearly every day, and a cute little iconic mascot to market their high-value, low-cost service.

What Sheila realized upon digging into her paperwork is that this prominent insurance provider had actually sold her policy to the lowest bidder, which many of them tend to do. Much in tune with how the insurance industry corruptively conducts business with their paying customers, the insuring entity immediately made moves to undercut what would be the diminished value of the vehicle following the accident. This was done in an attempt to negate the possibility of a much higher payout.

Sheila immediately rebuked what she saw to be an insultingly low estimate of her vehicle’s worth initially, and contacted AutoLoss outright seeking a second opinion on her stated value appraisal, and what the insurance company saw to be the newly-conceived diminished value of the vehicle.

For Sheila’s 2007 automobile, the insurance company was offering a diminished value payout of beneath $4,000, well below the sticker price originally adorning the car by nearly four times.

AutoLoss immediately dispatched appraisers out to Sheila’s area, where they again re-estimated the diminished value of her automobile following the accident she had been involved in, which she was not at fault for. The estimated diminished value of the vehicle actually came out to be nearly twice what the original insurance company appraisers had originally stated, which highlights a drastically cynical element of the insurance industry, and speaks volumes about their ethic, from the top of the corporate presidential ladder for their organization, right down to the level of the lowly telephone representative who originally sold their services to you.

Insurance companies will not allude to the possibility that they plan to screw you over once you’ve entrusted your hard-earned premium dollars to them, and have been involved in an accident. Despite that the bulk of insurance company accident claims go unpaid in their fullest, insurers will not let their policy holders know that they built the stake of their company’s reputation upon the ideal of using backdoor, underhanded tactics to cheat their customers in times of crisis.

Leave it to the diligent, third-party appraisal efforts of AutoLoss. Via their website at AutoLoss.com, users can survey options for making sure their own insurance companies don’t cheat them out of their rightful insurance payout following an auto accident.

In Sheila’s case, AutoLoss’ deemed payout nearly doubled the original estimate, and the insurance company was forced to pay the reassessed amount in full.

“AutoLoss saved the day, without question. Services like theirs are still looking out for the little guy,” stated Sheila, “and it’s a good thing someone is.”
