What is Diminished Value?
Diminished Value (DV) refers to the loss in a vehicle’s market value after it has been damaged and repaired.
Even with perfect repairs, a vehicle that has been in an accident is typically worth less than an identical vehicle with no accident history.
Did you know? In some cases, vehicles can lose up to 25% or more of their value after an accident, even with high-quality repairs!
Why You Need a Diminished Value Appraisal
Insurance companies often overlook or undervalue diminished value claims. They do not make the process easy or pay fairly by default. The insurance company will want you to be well-prepared with your demand, your supporting evidence and justifications, and a readiness to negotiate.
Our expert appraisal provides you with:
– An accurate assessment of your vehicle’s pre-accident value
– A detailed analysis of the impact of the accident on your vehicle’s value
– Expert documentation to support your diminished value claim
– Stronger negotiating power with insurance companies
– Optional: Claim submission & negotiation with the insurance adjuster

Every situation is different, but he’s very knowledgeable and will work hard to get you the settlement you deserve from the insurance company. He’s a professional and patiently answered all of my questions. You’ll be in good hands with him!”

“I’m so glad I found Ryckman Appraisals. My (almost) new car was hit at from behind at a red light.
After the repairs, my diminished value claim took about a week, and I received over $4,200! So satisfying!
I never want to have another accident, but if I do, I know who will be helping me.”
