Frequently Asked Questions

Expert guidance on navigating your auto total loss insurance claim and securing a fair settlement.

What is the Appraisal Clause and how does it help me?

The Appraisal Clause is a provision in most insurance policies that allows you to challenge a lowball settlement offer. By invoking this clause, you can hire BP Appraisals LLC as your independent expert to negotiate directly with the insurance company's appraiser to reach a fair market value for your vehicle.

How long does the appraisal and reporting process take?

Our on-site inspections typically last between one and three hours. Following the inspection, we provide a preliminary verbal summary immediately. You will receive your complete, USPAP-compliant digital appraisal report within 7 to 10 business days.

Are your appraisal reports legally recognized?

Yes. Every report we produce conforms to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Our appraisals are recognized as 'Qualified Appraisals' by insurance carriers, the IRS, and the court system. Founder Burke Payne also provides expert witness testimony in state and Federal Court.

Can you appraise a vehicle that has already been salvaged or disposed of?

We offer retrospective appraisals for vehicles that are no longer available for physical inspection. By utilizing detailed photos, service records, and purchase history, we can develop a robust valuation of the vehicle’s condition and market value prior to the loss.

What are the fees for a total loss appraisal?

Professional vehicle valuations and diminished value appraisals start at $750 for the first vehicle within 50 miles of Denver. For specialized, exotic, or highly modified vehicles requiring extensive research, fees typically start at $1,000.

How do you determine the condition of my vehicle?

We utilize a strict objective 6-tier grading system to ensure accuracy. This ranges from Grade 5 (Excellent/Near-new) to Grade 0 (Inoperative/Scrap). This standardized approach provides the documented evidence necessary to justify a higher settlement value to your insurer.
