How we help Ohio drivers

• Total loss disputes — we audit the insurer's ACV report line by line and rebuild it with true local-market comparables. If the numbers don't move, we invoke your policy's appraisal clause.
• Diminished value — a signed expert report documenting what the accident history costs your car in the Ohio market. Flat fee, free screening first.
• Loss of use — day-by-day documentation of your downtime at local rental rates for your vehicle class.
