Oaktree Auto Appraisals is an independent appraisal firm representing policyholders and lienholders in total loss valuations, diminished value claims, and proceedings invoked under the appraisal clause. Our reports are grounded in local comparable sales, recognized valuation methodology, and a documentary record suitable for submission to insurers.
Oaktree Auto Appraisals provides independent valuation services to insureds and their representatives across the United States. The firm does not work as a staff appraiser for any carrier and accepts no contingent compensation from insurers; our obligation is to the integrity of the valuation and to the party that retains us.
Each appraisal is prepared in writing, supported by local comparable sales, mileage and condition adjustments, and the customary industry references. Where the dispute proceeds under the appraisal clause of the policy, our principal serves as the named appraiser and engages opposing appraisers and the umpire in accordance with the policy's procedural requirements.
Independent determination of actual cash value where the carrier's settlement does not reflect comparable local market evidence. Reports include comparable selection, adjustments, and the methodology applied.
Measurement of post-repair loss in market value following a documented accident, supported by local market data and recognized diminished-value methodology accepted by carriers and courts.
Service as the insured's designated appraiser under the appraisal clause of the policy, including correspondence with the opposing appraiser, selection of an umpire where required, and execution of the appraisal award.
Written valuation reports suitable for submission to carriers. Supplemental documentation is available on request.
Correspondence is reviewed daily. Where the matter concerns an active claim or pending appraisal-clause demand, please indicate the carrier and claim number in your message so the file may be opened on receipt.
