Alaska Diminished Value Appraisal — Recover What Your Vehicle Lost After an Accident
Even after professional repairs, your vehicle can lose significant market value once its accident history appears on Carfax or AutoCheck. If your crash happened anywhere in Alaska—including Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau—an Alaska diminished value appraisal helps you document that loss and pursue fair compensation. SnapClaim provides court-ready, data-driven appraisal reports trusted by Alaska insurers, personal injury attorneys, and small-claims courts statewide.Does Alaska Allow Diminished Value Claims?
Third-party (at-fault driver’s insurer)Yes. When another driver is at fault, you can claim diminished value from their insurance as part of your recoverable property damage — i.e., the difference between your car’s pre-accident and post-repair market value.
First-party (your own insurer)
Generally no, unless your policy specifically provides diminished value coverage. Most policies do not include it by default.
