Check the approved valuation guide and tax

West Virginia Code 33-6-33 directs insurers to use the latest version of an Insurance Commissioner-approved used-car guide as a guide to minimum value in a total-loss settlement. The statute also adds applicable consumer sales tax to the agreed cash settlement. Ask which approved valuation product was used and how the vehicle’s features and condition were handled.

Request help with claim handling

The Property and Casualty Consumer Services unit handles automobile questions and complaints, including delays and denials. Its complaint instructions request copies of policy material and correspondence. The unit cannot decide negligence or fault, act as a lawyer, or intervene in a pending lawsuit. A well-supported value disagreement remains distinct from proving that the insurer mishandled the claim.

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.
