Diminished Value of Georgia is Now Offering Hail Damage Car AppraisalReports.

Hail storms have ravaged Georgia in the past week causing damage to hundreds of vehicles.Diminished Value of Georgia, Atlanta's leading car appraisal company is now offering vehiclevaluations for cars affected by the storm.

On April 29, 2014, Diminished Value of Georgia, Atlanta's leading car appraisal company, was featured on theTrustDale radio program on 640WGST in a segment discussing hail damage and its effects on a vehicle's resalevalue.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reports that insurance claims resulting from hailstorm damageincreased 84 percent in 2012 from their 2010 level. In 2010, there were 467,602 hail damage claims filed. Thatnumber increased to 689,267 in 2011 and to 861,597 in 2012—an overall increase of 84 percent from 2010 to2012.

In the past few months, Georgia has had an increased amount of hailstorms resulting in thousands of damagedvehicles and millions in insurance claim payouts.

On the Radio segment, Diminished Value of Georgia's senior car appraiser, Tony Rached goes on explaininghow his company helps accidents victims recover the maximum for their insurance claim.

Diminished Value as explained by Mr. Rached, is the reduction in resale value a vehicle suffers after a repairinvolving bodywork or paintwork; in essence, car buyers will never pay the same money for a vehicle that'sbeen repainted or that had repaired panels.

Vehicle owners attempting to sell their repaired vehicles are often surprised at the reduction in value theyencounter in the marketplace. In Georgia, the loss in value attributed to hail damage is legally owned topolicyholders by their insurance carriers.

"To determine Diminished Value, many insurance carriers use a formula called 17c that produces unfairvaluation amounts" says Tony Rached, "to challenge an unfair offer insurers are encouraged to hire anindependent appraisal company to accurately assess the loss" he adds.

In answering one of Dale Cardwell's questions as to why people should hire Diminished Value of Georgia,Tony Rached states that "If you want to double check the amounts you're being presented by the insurancecompany, DVGA offers a no obligation quote" adding that "if there's a big discrepancy, we'll give you anappraisal report to submit to the insurance company".

Diminished Value of Georgia is a locally owned auto appraisal company offering a multitude of vehiclevaluation services. The company was started in 2007 by Tony Rached and currently processes about 500Diminished Value appraisals per month with field inspectors covering the entire state of Georgia.
