Document the valuation disagreement

New Mexico OSI advises drivers disputing a vehicle claim to request a written explanation from the adjuster and keep dated records of claim conversations. If the dispute concerns the amount of the claim, check the actual policy for an appraisal clause before commissioning an appraisal. The guidance does not establish a universal right to appraisal against another driver’s insurer.

Use the Consumer Assistance Bureau for claim handling

OSI accepts auto-insurance complaints about claim processing and other insurer conduct. First request an explanation from the company and provide the information it needs. OSI cannot determine a vehicle’s value, decide fault, act as your adjuster, or order a particular claim payment. A complaint and a documented valuation dispute therefore serve different purposes.

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.
