Recover the loss in vehicle value after a Georgia accident
Once any vehicle—be it car, truck, RV, boat, motorcycle, or ATV—has been in an accident, the value of the vehicle goes down. This wasn’t always so. It used to be more difficult to establish a vehicle’s involvement in a crash. But with technology available today, anyone can go online and use a service such as Autocheck.com, Edmonds, or Carfax to find out if a car has been in an accident. Similar services exist for other types of vehicles. So even if your vehicle has been completely repaired to new condition, it becomes less desirable and therefore has a lower selling price.
