Diminished Value Claims in Atlanta

Even after repairs, your vehicle loses value simply because it has been in an accident. This is called diminished value, and Georgia law allows you to pursue financial recovery.

RJ prepares thorough diminished value assessments that:

• Document your car’s pre- and post-accident market value.
• Reference OEM repair standards and ADAS technology considerations.
• Provide a detailed appraisal report that insurance companies cannot easily dismiss.
• Hold up in Magistrate and State Courts throughout Georgia.

Whether your insurer offered $37 or another unreasonably low number, RJ’s Atlanta clients regularly walk away with thousands more in compensation.

Post-Repair Inspections in Atlanta

Even the best body shops sometimes cut corners under insurer pressure. RJ’s post-repair inspections identify hidden issues such as:

• Frame misalignment
• Incorrect ADAS recalibration
• Poor-quality paint or refinishing
• Substandard replacement parts

Catching these mistakes early protects you from future safety risks and ensures your vehicle meets manufacturer standards.

Appraisal Clause & Total Loss Support

If you’re disputing your insurer’s offer on a total loss or repair estimate, RJ can serve as your independent appraiser under Georgia’s appraisal clause.

Services include:

• Appraisal Clause Negotiations with insurance companies.
• Total Loss Assessments to determine the fair market value of your car.
• Gap Insurance Estimates to calculate true replacement costs.

With RJ’s deep background in negotiation, clients benefit from a balanced and professional approach that gets results.
