TRUTH IN VEHICLE VALUE —
Were you involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault?
VERITY is here to help you understand whether your vehicle has lost market value — even after repairs, and whether you may be entitled to compensation.
Recently Had Your Vehicle Repaired?
Even after professional repairs, your vehicle may have experienced a loss in market value due to its accident history.
VERITY provides independent, thorough, evidence-based diminished value evaluations to help determine whether a loss exists and, if so, its estimated amount.
Did You Settle a Previous Insurance Claim?
You may still have options. Many vehicle owners are unaware that diminished value may be recoverable separately from the cost of repairs. Even if your insurance claim was previously settled, you may still be able to pursue diminished value compensation, depending on the terms of your settlement, applicable state laws, and the circumstances of your claim.
Had an accident within the last three years? Contact VERITY to learn whether an independent diminished value assessment may be appropriate.
— THE BASICS
What is Diminished Value?
The repairs may be complete. The impact may not be.
Why? Because buyers may be willing to pay less for a vehicle with an accident history than for an otherwise comparable vehicle without one. That difference is called diminished value.
VERITY independently evaluates whether your vehicle experienced a loss in market value and, if so, how much.
— EXAMPLE
Two identical vehicles have similar mileage, equipment, and condition. One has never been involved in an accident. The other was involved in an accident and subsequently repaired. Would a prospective buyer be willing to pay the same amount for both vehicles?
Not always.
Even after professional repairs, the vehicle with an accident history may command a lower market price. That potential difference is known as diminished value.
VERITY evaluates the available evidence to determine whether such a loss exists and, if so, its estimated amount.
