It is important to have independent documentation of the current condition and value of your collectible auto that a certified appraiser’s report provides when obtaining insurance. Insurance companies always accept our appraisals and can write coverage based on our value assessment. Not only is independent documentation important to secure coverage from your insurance company, but it becomes even more critical when you have to file a claim against another driver. Many accidents involving collectible automobiles are not the owner’s fault, but the fault of another individual. A comprehensive and professional classic car appraisal for selling by a certified auto appraiser is a valuable tool when negotiating the settlement after an accident, and an important way to protect your investment.
