Understanding Your Rights

What is diminished value?

When your vehicle is involved in an accident, even after repairs, it loses value. This loss is called "diminished value." Most people do not realize that if you were not at fault, you have the right to claim this lost value from the at-fault party's insurance company.

Insurance companies are not required to tell you about diminished value, and they often hope you will not find out. The result? Thousands of dollars left on the table that rightfully belong to you.

ClaimShield DV provides certified, data-backed diminished value appraisals that are accurate and widely accepted by insurance companies. We guide you through every step of the claim process and help you negotiate the settlement you deserve.

ClaimShield helped me get over 2x the initial settlement offer from my insurance company. Their expert guidance made all the difference in my claim.

I had no idea I was entitled to diminished value until I found ClaimShield. They walked me through every step and I recovered thousands more than expected.

The appraisal report was professional and thorough. When the insurance company tried to lowball me, ClaimShield's team helped me negotiate a fair settlement.

Fast, professional, and worth every penny. The $399 fee paid for itself many times over with the settlement I received.
