Donald M (Connecticut)- I just wanted to let you know I did settle my Diminished Value claim with Allstate. It was your superior and thorough appraisal that allowed a three times larger settlement than the insurance company initially offered me.
My DV loss was appraised at $9442.40 plus the fee. The attorney stated that he would likely go for around that much in court, but then what usually happens is that the insurance company will try to settle just before it goes to court. So, if they knock off $2000.00 or so, that’s fairly agreeable. However, then there’s the lawyers 30% fee, plus costs, which include another local appraisal with a retainer in case the appraiser has to appear in court, and court costs, etc.
He suggested that after all this I would likely receive between $2500.00 to $3500.00 possibly higher, and possibly lower. This after the process taking an average of 14 months in Connecticut. In addition, he suggested I shouldn’t sell my car in that time.
Then Allstate called me again to offer $3000.00. I accepted, since that was their final offer, and I really couldn’t see going through the whole rig-a-ma-roll with the attorney getting at least half of the claim and ending with a similar amount.
Anyway, I do thank you for your excellent appraisal. I wouldn’t have received what I did without it. I thought some of the above information might be useful to you.
