Auto Accident Property Damage
Virtually every time someone hires me for an auto accident injury claim, there is a discussion about the property damage aspect of their claim. The upshot of that conversation is that I can probably help a lot with your injury claim, but you don’t really need me for the property damage claim.
For the injury claim, I add value in a few ways: I present the legitimate threat of trial to the insurance company, I help you avoid making mistakes that damage your claim, I help you make decisions that can add value to your claim, and I help to present your claim in such a way as to maximize that value.
For the property damage claim, I can’t really add value! If your car needs repairing, they’ll pay to get it repaired. If you need a rental, they’ll probably do that up front, or we might be able to get you reimbursed if necessary. If your car is totaled, they will pay you the fair market value-ish. I can coach you up on how best to calculate that value (it’s a moving target) but I’ll do that for nothing. All you’re doing here is making phone calls and doing a little internet stuff. You don’t need me for this.
The exception to that is when you have a diminished value claim. That’s when your car is relatively new and then the damage/repairs reduces that value significantly. I CAN help you with that, so if that’s your situation, let me know!
