Auto Accident Assistance

There's no charge to evaluate whether you've received a fair offer

Attorneys that help out accident victims are called Personal Injury Attorneys.  If there are no bodily injuries, these attorneys typically won't get involved.  Having had direct experience with an insurance company trying to rip me off with an unfair appraisal, we created RipMeNot to insure that getting your car totaled shouldn't total your bank account as well.

Rip Me Not takes no fee unless we can make you money.  We take a percentage of the improvement in your settlement offer. 

State law governs when an insurer can make this determination.  Once the decision has been made to total your car, you should make arrangements for the car to be picked up from the repair shop as soon as possible to minimize storage charges.

Because of the ease in perpetrating a fraud against the insurer, virtually all insurers treat this type of case as likely fraud.  If you have extensive aftermarket items on your vehicle before the theft - you may be barred from recovering for them - even if you filed a police report after the theft.

Unlike aircraft, where the engines are appraised separately from the airframe -- In cars and trucks there is no appraisal method to evaluate a vehicle with 250,000 miles on the odometer but only 5,000 miles on the new engine.  It's unfortunate, but that's the way vehicles are valued.
