After receiving the cash settlement for a total loss vehicle, you must find a comparable vehicle within 30 days. However, if you only find one more expensive than your settlement, your insurer will have to:
- Give you the difference
- Negotiate with the dealer for a lower price
- Purchase the car for you (even for a cheaper price)
- Look for a comparable car to yours worth the cash settlement
- Use the Appraisal Clause of your policy
Be reminded that this does not apply for a cash settlement valued for a vehicle you rejected. If you’re considering the Appraisal Clause, you’ll have to hire an appraiser and share the cost of an umpire with your insurer.
We see you as a person, not just a client – and that makes us better at what we do. We listen. We learn your story.

A lot of personal injury lawyers raise their contingency fee throughout the process, charging 1/3 if the case is settled pre-suit, charging 40% if the case is filed after a lawsuit is filed, and charging 50% if the case goes to trial. We don’t. At America’s Consumer Lawyer, our personal injury contingency fee is always 1/3 and that’s not changing. We will handle your property damage claim FOR FREE. We will never change our contingency fee throughout the process. You will not owe us a penny unless you get money. Our unique formula has earned us over 1,000 outstanding client reviews on our website, an A+ BBB rating, and over 145 five-star reviews on Google.
