The Facts About Photo Estimates
Photo Claim apps are offered by many insurance companies today as a convenient way to file a claim after an accident. While they can seem appealing because of their ease of use, there are concerns that the vehicle owner should be aware of before choosing to use them.
Most important is the concern of continuing to drive the vehicle without knowing if it is compromised and dangerous. Having your vehicle physically inspected at your body shop as soon as possible after an accident is always your best choice. They will evaluate the extent of the damage and determine if your vehicle is still safe and roadworthy.
Of additional concern is the insurance company's ability to estimate the repair cost by looking at a few photos. Without being physically inspected by a licensed appraiser the cost of repair could be grossly underestimated.
