Georgia Alpharetta, GA

When an accident happens in Georgia—whether on I-285 in Atlanta, I-20 through Augusta, I-16 in Macon, or I-95 near Savannah—insurance companies often undervalue diminished value and total loss claims. That’s where Wreck Check AtlantaWelcome provides the expertise Georgia drivers need.

Diminished Value Claims in Georgia

Under Georgia law, drivers have the right to pursue diminished value when an accident reduces their car’s resale worth—even after quality repairs.
RJ’s Georgia diminished value assessments:

  • Document your car’s true pre- and post-accident value.
  • Incorporate OEM repair standards and ADAS recalibration requirements.
  • Provide court-ready reports that hold up against insurer review.
  • Have consistently helped Georgia drivers recover thousands more than initial offers.

Post-Repair Inspections in Georgia

Busy repair shops across Georgia—especially those influenced by insurers—sometimes miss critical steps. RJ’s independent post-repair inspections uncover:

  • Hidden frame or structural damage.
  • Incomplete calibration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
  • Substitution of aftermarket parts for OEM components.
  • Refinishing or paint defects.

These inspections give Georgia drivers confidence that their vehicles meet manufacturer standards for safety and value.

Appraisal Clause & Total Loss Support in Georgia

Georgia’s appraisal clause gives drivers the right to an independent appraiser if they dispute their insurer’s offer. RJ frequently serves in this role for Georgia clients.

Services include:

  • Appraisal Clause Negotiations with insurers.
  • Total Loss Assessments for accurate market value.
  • Gap Insurance Estimates for proper replacement cost coverage.

RJ’s decades of negotiation and courtroom experience give Georgia drivers the leverage they need.

  • 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!!
