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.

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.
