Newark Total Loss Appraisal — Get What Your Vehicle Is Truly Worth
If your vehicle was declared a total loss in Newark, Wilmington, or Dover and the payout seems too low, you don’t have to accept it. Delaware drivers have the right under their insurance policy’s appraisal clause to request an independent Newark total loss appraisal that determines the car’s actual cash value (ACV) before the accident.
SnapClaim provides USPAP-compliant, data-driven total loss reports trusted by insurers, attorneys, and appraisers throughout Delaware to resolve valuation disputes quickly.

What happens to my Delaware title after a total loss?
Delaware issues a Salvage Certificate. After completing repairs and passing a Delaware Enhanced Safety Inspection, a rebuilt title may be granted.

Delaware does not charge general sales tax, but some title or documentation fees may be applied depending on the insurer.
How long do I have to file a total loss claim in Newark?
Delaware generally allows up to two years from the accident date to pursue a property damage claim.
Why is Newark-specific market data important?
Vehicle values in Newark can differ from southern Delaware or nearby Pennsylvania. Local demand for commuter-friendly sedans, SUVs, and hybrids affects resale value significantly.
