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.
If you would like more information, please contact us. Our firm has successfully worked in this area for decades.

About Me
- David Schreiber
- I have been practicing law since 1994. From 1994-1998, I was a State's Attorney with the "Governor's Law Firm", called the Office of General Counsel. I represented the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Civil Actions, including winning cases on appeal before the Commonwealth Court. In 1998, I joined a local firm. I became a shareholder. I am now a Partner at Wolpert Schreiber P.C., focusing on injury law and insurance disputes. I am one of the few lawyers handling injury cases who has worked exclusively both as a lawyer for injured people and in house for a large law group defending those claims when I was with the "Governor's Law Firm". My work also includes Insurance Disputes and Contracts. I have successfully handled hundreds and hundreds of cases, including cases to jury verdict, in State and Federal Court. I am honored to help people who come to us to solve their problems. Our goal is to seek truth and accountability, while working as hard as possible for our clients. I have obtained millions of dollars in recoveries for clients over the years. We work for your case.
