Instructions and Help about total loss letter
Hello this is Frank Hartman with the Hartman law firm, and I'm a practicing attorney in Charleston South Carolina specializing in personal injury and auto accidents today we're talking about what happens when the insurance company totals your vehicle and how to walk yourself through that process when you're handling your property damage claim with the insurance company the first hurdle that you're going to encounter is whether the insurance company is going to choose to either total your vehicle out or they're going to try to repair it in large part that's going to be based on the year make and model of your vehicle in other words how old your vehicle is the mileage that's on it if you've got a vehicle that's between five and eight years old and all likelihood the insurance company is probably going to end up totaling the vehicle in order for you to figure out the actual value of your car the easiest thing you can do is go to Kelly Blue Book calm or KGB calm to put in the year making mileage of your vehicle, and then you can get a feel for the range that your car is actually worth and the specific value that you need to look at is the actual trade-in value in other words the value that you would get if you were to take your vehicle to a dealership today or well on the day of the wreck and prior to the wreck obviously and try to trade it in a new vehicle, so obviously the value is going to be a little less what you're probably expecting because a dealer is not necessarily going to give you the best offer there or an offer that you would necessarily get from say a private person who you're selling it to undersell Carolina law if the overall repair value is more than 70 of the actual Blue Book value of your car in all likelihood the insurance company is going to total the vehicle out and what that means is as we talked about just a moment ago they're going to pay you the Blue Book value of your vehicle in which case you'll have to turn over the title you'll sign it over to them, and they'll take your car to salvage you might at that point if you want to buy your car back from salvage but in the process of doing so you'll have to what's called a salvage title and the problem with that is a salvage title can't be transferred from you to someone else so and all you'll be dealing with a car that while it's running you'll never be able to sell, so you know that's a decision that ultimately you'll have to make for yourself on a case-by-case basis essentially what an insurance company is going to do is they're going to take the average of what three dealerships would potentially give you on your trade end value of the vehicle, so hypothetically speaking were you to take your vehicle into three different dealerships in the Charleston area and all of those dealerships offered you a specific number the insurance company is going to take those three numbers and average them together and that's going to be their baseline for what they're typically going to...
