3. Make sure the description of your car is correct. Just as in any profession, adjusters make mistakes. As a result, one reason why your total loss offer might be low is because the incorrect model, year, mileage
and accessories are listed on the total loss work sheet. Therefore, go over every detail of your car with your adjuster when you discuss the offer. Make sure all of the details of your car are in order, so that the value of your car will be in line.
4. Use the arbitration clause in your auto policy. A lot of auto policies have an arbitration clause that can be used in the case that you don't agree with your adjuster about the repairs or the total loss value of your car. So, check your policy and take the next step. The only thing you need to remember is that you'll have to pay the expense of your own arbitrator and, also, you'll still need to have concrete proof that your car is worth more than what the adjuster is offering to you.
5. Ask to speak to a supervisor. This last point is one you should only do if the communication between you and that adjuster has completely broken down. If you cannot speak to each other calmly and the adjuster refuses to look at new information about your vehicle or address questions about the total loss figures being offered, then ask to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor will listen and hear what you have to say in order to squash the complaint. Some times, they'll even compromise on the money in order to appease a good customer.
