In a professional forum for diminished value providers, we had a member inquire about how the amount of the repair bill affects the diminished value (inherent) of a vehicle.

The vast majority of insurance adjusters have had no formal training in valuation appraisals.
The unfortunate fact of the matter is that insurance adjusters work for an insurance company and are forced to work within the policies of the company they work for.
Unfortunately, insurance companies train employees and adjusters to deny diminished value claims, even if the evidence is overwhelming.
It is such a rampant practice that they even provide adjusters with several arguments to use and most companies provide form letters that make silly arguments about why they won’t pay for diminished value.
