Don't Accept a Lowball Settlement from Your Insurer

When your vehicle is declared a total loss after an accident in the Salem area, your insurance provider uses automated, third-party software to generate a payout offer. More often than not, these computer-generated valuations systematically shortchange vehicle owners by failing to account for local market realities in the Mid-Valley.

You don't have to accept their first offer. Under your auto insurance policy, you have a contractual right called the Appraisal Clause. This allows you to hire an independent auto appraiser to challenge the insurance company’s valuation and demand a fair, real-world market settlement.

Oregon Law Protects You—Our Fee Is Typically 100% Reimbursable By Your Insurance

At FD Auto Appraisals, we specialize in independent total loss evaluations. We review your claim, pull local comparable vehicles from across the Salem, Keizer, Albany, and Eugene markets, and build an airtight valuation report to negotiate directly with the insurer's appraiser.

Best of all, Oregon state law is heavily on the side of the consumer:

⚖️ Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 742.061: If your independent appraisal increases the settlement offer by even one penny above the insurance company’s original settlement offer, the insurance carrier is legally required to cover the cost of your appraisal fees.

Because we screen your claim upfront for free, we only take on cases where we are confident we can beat the insurer's lowball offer. That means you get our expert representation with minimal out-of-pocket risk.
