Diminished Value Claims in North Carolina
Even after proper repairs, vehicles lose market value once they carry an accident history. This is called diminished value, and under North Carolina law, drivers can pursue compensation when insurers underpay.

- Reference OEM standards and ADAS recalibration requirements.
- Produce court-ready reports that insurers cannot easily dismiss.
- Consistently result in clients recovering substantially more than insurer offers.
