Diminished Value Claim Process
How do you claim Diminished Value? What do I need to file a claim? How do I get the Insurance company to pay Diminished Value? How much will I get? Negotiating the Claim. So now you have your appraisal in hand, it’s time to send it over to the insurance company. You’ll want to include a demand letter also (yes we include a sample demand letter for you). The demand letter makes it official and gives them 30 days to give you a reasonable offer. I’ve found that most companies will normally settle a Diminished Value Claim around 50 to 85 percent of the appraisal as long as the appraisal is not over inflated or under valued.

Do Older Cars Have Diminished Value?
Here’s what an Clients had to say on his 2002 BMW 325i with 123,000 miles. “I am amazed at the service that I received from Ken Nix at Diminished Value of Oregon. He was extremely thorough, at times I even thought this guy works really hard for the small fee that he charged me upfront. It was worth every penny because in the end after negotiating with the insurance company , I got his fee back that I paid upfront and the settled amount of the claim was over 1500% , that’s 15 times more than my original cost to hire Ken !!!! Thats a whole lot better than Ive been doing in the stock market lately !!!! My 1st offer from the insurance company was $100.00. If it wasn’t for Ken and his knowledge I would have never got $1770.00 !!!! Thanks again Ken !!!!
Sincerely Doug W.
