My Truck Was Undervalued by $5,700 Until a Third Party Stepped In

My truck was determined to be a total loss for light damage resulting from two separate incidents. The insurance company made this decision without consulting me and I felt I was forced into a bad and unfair situation. Through the advice of a friend in the autobody industry I reached out to a third party to deal with my claim settlement. My vehicle had been undervalued by $5,700. I was able to recover that difference with a small fee, and it was worth it. All people have the right to protection like I received and it should be the responsibility of insurance companies to put this option in their policies and advise people of the right to use a third-party claims company to result in the best interest of their customers.
