The Certified Report is a paid service, only available if you qualify.
No guesswork. No wasted time.
You may qualify if:
🚫 You were not at fault
The vehicle was damaged in a collision, not weather or mechanical failure
The accident occurred within the last 3 years
The vehicle is insured
It’s worth $7,000 or more
It has fewer than 150,000 miles and is less than 10 years old
📄 The vehicle has a clean (non-salvage) title
– Nevada does not routinely allow diminished value recovery from the other driver’s insurer. If you were hit by someone else, your claim must typically go through your own insurance, and even then, it’s only viable if your policy supports it.
👉 Still unsure? Submit your vehicle info and we’ll confirm eligibility for free, typically within 24 hours.
There’s no standard formula in Nevada — every case is assessed based on real-world market data, not insurance formulas.
We consider:
- 📉 Your vehicle’s pre- and post-accident market value
- 🔍 Repair quality, visible flaws, or improper techniques
- 🔧 Use of aftermarket vs OEM parts
- 📊 Age, mileage, and resale potential
- 🏷 Local sale comps and buyer behavior
With our certified documentation, many Nevada drivers recover thousands of dollars more than the insurer’s original offer.
To file a valid DV claim in Nevada, you’ll typically need:
- ✅ A certified, independent diminished value appraisal (we provide this)
- 📄 Repair documentation showing collision-related damage
- 📝 A clear, professional demand letter (included with your report and fully editable)
We guide you through:
- Free eligibility review
- Professional report by an independent appraiser
- Submission to the insurer (usually your insurer and you must have UM/UIM coverage)
⏱ Most reports are ready within 24–72 hours. We make it simple.
Yes — but it depends on the actual loss in value and a few key factors.
Strong candidates usually meet these guidelines:
- Vehicle is worth $7,000 or more
- Under 10 years old
- Fewer than 150,000 miles
- Has a clean (non-salvage) title
- Visible damage or parts replaced
💡 Even if the vehicle is older, the market loss is what matters. We’ll tell you upfront if it qualifies.
It depends on the type of release:
- 📄 If you signed a property damage-only release, DV may still be recoverable
- ⚠️ If you signed a general release, your DV rights may have been waived
- Nevada law gives you 3 years to file from the date of loss
📎 Upload your documents — we’ll confirm eligibility for free.
No. Nevada law allows you to recover diminished value even if you keep the car.
DV is based on:
- 📉 What a buyer would pay after repairs
- 🛑 The accident history stigma
- 🔧 Repair quality and non-OEM parts
We document the loss as if the vehicle were being sold, even if it’s staying in your driveway.
If your vehicle was repaired using non-original equipment manufacturer (non-OEM) parts—also called aftermarket parts—it can seriously reduce your car’s resale value and increase the compensation you’re entitled to in a diminished value claim.
Even if the repair looks good, aftermarket parts often fall short in fit, finish, durability, and performance compared to factory originals. Dealerships and informed buyers know this — and typically offer less or reject trade-ins entirely.
⚠️ Why Non-OEM Parts Lower Vehicle Value:
- Lower perceived quality and safety
- Can void factory warranties
- Often flagged during resale or trade-in evaluations
- 📄 Clearly listed on your repair invoice — making them hard for insurers to dispute
At Fair Claim Help, our certified appraisers account for non-OEM parts in every report — so you don’t leave money on the table because the insurance company downplayed your loss.
Not all appraisals are created equal.

Insurance companies take our reports seriously — because they’re built to win disputes.
Nevada auto policies often include an Appraisal Clause for dispute resolution.
It works like this:
- 🧑💼 You hire a certified appraiser
- 🏢 Insurer hires their own
- ⚖️ A neutral third-party umpire resolves disagreements
📎 We support this process and provide a report accepted under these terms — with no attorney required.
Yes — we offer a simple refund guarantee if your report is:
- ❌ Found to be ineligible after full submission, or
- ❌ Not accepted for a valid claim despite following our guidance
✅ Fair Recovery Guarantee:
Most clients recover far more than they invest — often thousands.
We stand behind that:
If your claim qualifies and you recover less than the cost of your appraisal, we’ll refund you in full.
- Just complete the eligibility questions honestly
- Submit your documents as requested
- If you’re eligible, you’re covered
Note: If your claim is not recommended for a certified appraisal and you purchase one anyway, this guarantee may not apply.
We don’t guarantee what the insurer will offer — but our clients routinely recover far more than they expected when they present strong documentation.
