Expert Assistance for Total Loss Claims in Utah

Total Loss Claim Explained

A total loss claim is a coverage provision in an automobile insurance policy that allows you to file a claim for your damaged car. Your vehicle is considered totaled if the estimated cost for vehicle repair is equal to or more than the total loss threshold. It is the percentage of ACV used to determine whether a vehicle is a total loss.

A Simple Total Loss Claim Process

Here is the step-by-step process for total loss claims in Utah.

Report the Accident

After the incident, file a report with the insurance company as soon as possible and call the police so they can visit the spot and file an FIR

Collect Documents

Then, take photos and videos of the damage and collect documents such as maintenance receipts, RC, insurance copy, etc.

Vehicle Inspection

The insurer will commission a surveyor for the damaged vehicle to estimate the repair costs for the vehicle.

Vehicle Valuation

Your insurer will determine your car’s ACV based on make and model, year of manufacture, mileage, condition, and local market values.

Total Loss Determination

If repair costs are at or above your car’s pre-accident ACV, your insurer will tell you that the car is a total loss.

Settlement Offer

Your insurer will make a settlement offer based on your car’s ACV less any deductible that might be required.

Transfer of Ownership

You will need to sign the vehicle title if you accept the settlement offer.

Receive Compensation

After completing all the paperwork related to your claim, the insurer will issue your payment according to the agreed settlement amount.
