Vehicle Damage Appraisals
Independent, thorough, and easy-to-understand damage appraisal reports to support accurate insurance adjusting, fair settlements, and claim resolution.
What We Do
We provide professional, on-site or desktop appraisals for vehicles damaged in accidents, collisions, or other incidents. Our process includes:
- Detailed visual inspection of the vehicle to document all visible and structural damage
- High-resolution photos from multiple angles, including close-ups of impact areas, prior damage, and overall condition
- Identification of prior damage or unrelated issues (when applicable) to ensure accurate claim allocation
- Repair cost estimates based on current parts/labor rates, OEM guidelines, and industry standards
- Assessment of total loss potential (e.g., if repairs exceed 75% of actual cash value in South Carolina)
- Clear notes on damage severity, repair feasibility, and any safety/structural concerns
Reports are objective, well-documented, and designed to facilitate smooth claim handling with insurers, TPAs, or courts.
Common Situations We Handle
- Not-at-fault accidents (third-party property damage claims against the at-fault driver's insurance)
- Total loss or salvage determinations
- Disputed repair estimates or supplement claims (additional damage discovered during repairs)
- Comprehensive claims (e.g., hail, vandalism, theft recovery damage)
- Claims involving structural, frame, or airbag deployment damage
- Support for arbitration in South Carolina (when insurance offers are disputed, via the Court of Common Pleas or SCDOI process)
- Private party negotiations or pre-settlement documentation for owners/attorneys
Who Benefits
- Insurance carriers and third-party administrators (TPAs) needing accurate, defensible reports for adjusting
- Attorneys representing claimants in property damage disputes or litigation
- Vehicle owners seeking fair compensation, stronger negotiation positions, or independent verification
- Repair facilities or body shops requiring detailed documentation for supplements or approvals
