Insurance Company makes low offer on my car

The insurance companies train their adjustors to settle claims for as little as they can. Especially the other person's insurer, if they are at fault, are at odds with you. Their interest to save the company money.

Time is on their side.

Also, the insurance company will typically use the "CCC" valuation to support what their offer is. That is put out by the insurance industry usually deflated valuations. The NADA partically is a value book you should consult. You can also supply prices of "like-kind" vehicles for sale to the insurance company.

There is also the issue of, even if repaired, your vehicle will have a "diminished value" because the damage will show up on a Carfax report. Thus, when you later go to try to sell it, it's value is less than if it had not been in a crash.

Should I take photographs of my car

If you are in a car accident, it is likely that the insurance company will take digital pictures of your car as part of the claim process.

But, you should absolutely take your own photos or have someone you know take them. You will have control of the photos and be ensured that adequate ones are taken. This is part of making sure you document your claim. It is also helpful to prove later how hard the impact was.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
