Request the valuation behind the offer

New Hampshire’s published Ins 1002 rules require a report explaining the valuation basis with a motor-vehicle total-loss offer. For covered liability, collision and comprehensive actual-cash-value claims, Ins 1002.15 describes local-market valuation methods rather than a universal fixed payment.

Check the loss vehicle’s make, model, year, mileage, equipment and condition against the report. The rule addresses accepted valuation methodology and documented comparable-vehicle evidence; ask which method the insurer used before challenging an isolated number.

Supply evidence of the vehicle’s actual condition

The Department’s auto guide recommends reviewing comparable vehicles and relevant condition information. Receipts for improvements and photographs can help explain the vehicle’s pre-loss state, but expenditures are not necessarily recovered dollar for dollar in market value.

A remote estimate or valuation review depends on adequate records. Hidden damage and physical-condition questions may still require a local inspection. The Department’s complaint form provides a direct route for an unresolved insurance-handling concern; it is separate from commissioning an independent technical report.

Choose the service and evidence for your asset

Send unit identification, current location, damage photographs and the requested scope. Supplements need the baseline estimate and evidence for added operations; desk review needs specific questions.

Heavy trucks, trailers, agricultural or construction equipment, ATVs, boats and aircraft require asset-specific scope and fee confirmation. Auto rules do not automatically govern these assets. Estimating is not a safety, seaworthiness or airworthiness certification.

Estimating, policy appraisal and property valuation are distinct

A damage estimate does not appoint an appraisal-clause appraiser, umpire or adjuster. These roles have separate requirements. We do not decide coverage or guarantee payment.

Home and mortgage valuations require separate credentials, lender ordering and any applicable appraisal-management compliance. This page does not confirm an available real estate provider network.
