• What's included with your appraisal?

• What does it mean to invoke my right to an appraisal?

  Most auto insurance policies include an appraisal clause. When you and your insurer disagree on your vehicle's value — including diminished value after a repair — you have the right to invoke that clause and request an independent appraisal to settle the dispute. We can tell you whether exercising your right to invoke an appraisal makes sense for your situation and guide you through the process.
