An accident follows a vehicle long after repairs are complete. If a not-at-fault accident affected your fleet vehicle’s market value, more recovery opportunities may still exist.
Diminution of value refers to the difference in a vehicle’s market value before and after a not-at-fault accident, even if that vehicle is fully repaired. Its accident history changes how buyers, dealers, appraisers, and insurers perceive its value.
Reduction in value means real, financial impact – that’s why a claims resolution doesn’t always translate to maximum financial recovery.
An accident may last a few seconds, but its impact on a vehicle’s value can last for years.
Repaired-in-full doesn’t automatically equate to restored value – that means a lower value on your asset that could affect resale proceeds, trade-in value, and overall return for your fleet.
Many factors influence diminished value:
You can’t recover what you don’t know you’re owed. Organizations across a variety of industries don’t realize (or aren’t sure how to pursue) diminution of value – that’s where we step in.
You deserve full damage recovery, not just claims resolution. We exist to uncover and recover what others claim processes may miss, underclaim, or never pursue in the first place.
What appeared to be a completed claim contained recoverable value more than two years after the original accident occurred for physical damage, loss of use, and appraisal fees.
More than three years after the original accident occurred, this claim still contained nearly $15,000 in additional recoverable value tied to loss of use and administrative fees.
More than $22,000 of this recovery came from the financial impact of the ambulance being out of service.
Every claim tells a different story, but uncovering – and then recovering – diminished value takes time, resources, and capacity that your internal team might not have. Appraisals, follow-ups, paperwork – and even after all that, about 78% of diminished value claims are denied on their first time.
We step in to do the legwork for you so you can recover what you’re owed without adding to your workload.
