Florida Alpharetta, GA

From the heavy traffic on I-95 in Miami and Jacksonville, to tourists crowding I-4 near Orlando, to coastal commutes along US-41 and I-75 in Tampa and Fort Myers, Florida drivers face a high risk of collisions. Unfortunately, insurers often undervalue diminished value and total loss claims, leaving policyholders with far less than their cars are worth.

At Wreck Check Atlanta, you’ll work directly with R.J. (Raymond John) Sweeney, a licensed auto damage appraiser, ASE-certified estimator, and I-CAR Platinum technician with decades of experience. RJ has managed over 2,000 diminished value and total loss claims across the Southeast, and his court-proven reports have consistently helped drivers in Florida and beyond secure fair compensation.

Why Florida Drivers Choose Wreck Check Atlanta

  • ASE-Certified Estimator & Structural Technician (certified through 2030).
  • I-CAR Platinum Appraiser & Refinish Technician, trained across multiple specialties.
  • Licensed Auto Damage Appraiser in North Carolina and South Carolina, serving clients throughout the Southeast.
  • 10,000+ vehicle estimates and repair plans completed during his career.

Whether you’re in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, or Tallahassee, RJ provides the credibility and experience needed to push back against undervalued insurance claims.

Diminished Value Claims in Florida

Even after repairs, your car loses market value once it has an accident on its history. This is called diminished value, and Florida law allows you to pursue recovery.

RJ’s diminished value assessments for Florida drivers:

  • Calculate your car’s true pre- and post-accident value.
  • Reference OEM repair standards and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) requirements.
  • Provide detailed appraisal reports that hold up under insurer review.
  • Consistently result in clients recovering substantially more than insurers’ initial offers.

Post-Repair Inspections in Florida

High-volume repair shops in Florida’s cities and coastal regions often rush jobs under insurer pressure. RJ’s independent post-repair inspections reveal issues like:

  • Frame or structural misalignment.
  • Improper calibration of ADAS safety systems.
  • Use of non-OEM parts instead of manufacturer-approved replacements.
  • Refinishing flaws or hidden damage.

These inspections are particularly important for Florida’s luxury vehicles and high-mileage commuter cars, where improper repairs can reduce both safety and resale value.

Appraisal Clause & Total Loss Support

When Florida insurers and policyholders disagree, RJ serves as the independent appraiser drivers need.

Services include:

  • Appraisal Clause Negotiations with insurance companies.
  • Total Loss Assessments for fair market value.
  • Gap Insurance Estimates for accurate replacement costs.

RJ’s courtroom-tested reports and negotiation expertise give Florida drivers leverage when insurers push back.

  • Amazing! He told me early on how much money he was going to be able to get me and he was spot on. I paid a small fee to get thousands more in my diminished value claim than the insurance company was offering. Further, RJ was very easy to get in contact with. He responded to my emails almost instantly. The whole process went by so quickly once he was involved. I would recommend him to anyone.

  • My insurance company offered me 37 bucks in diminished value. My case was slightly complex due to the insurance companies appraiser being stubborn and difficult. It had to be escalated to an unbiased umpire for a final binding decision. I wasn't expecting for it to go this far however it did. I ended up getting close to 3K back. RJ is extremely professional and he fights for you. The only issue to me is his preferred method of communication which is by email. Which i became accustomed to because he responds more prompt that way. He generated a 30 to 40 page report. He works extremely hard and for that I'm appreciative.

  • RJ is Awesome! He got me 10x what the insurance company offered on a 2 year old accident. Also, I traded the car in 7 months ago so I no longer had it. If I could share this experience with every person I see I would. I’ve already told several family and friends, it’s really just unbelievable to me! If you have any question what so ever, I promise his fee will be the best $275 you’ll ever spend!!
