Recent Indiana case result
De-identified outcome from a Indiana appraisal we handled. Settlement ranges reflect actual recoveries.
A Indianapolis driver's 2018 Subaru Outback Limited was declared a total loss after a multi-vehicle collision. The carrier's CCC ONE valuation came in at $15,600, with three "fair" condition adjustments and two comps pulled from outside the Indiana market. Our appraiser rebuilt the comp set using genuine Indiana dealer inventory, corrected trim and option coding, and removed the unsupported condition deductions. Final settlement after appraisal: $19,400 — a +$3,800 increase, plus Indiana sales tax and title fees paid on top.
