Our client’s 2023 Ford F-150 was damaged. Our client filed a claim with their carrier Cadence Insurance for the loss. Cadence issued a loss statement/repair estimate for $12,305.27 before the deductible. Our client’s collision facility issued a preliminary loss statement/repair plan for $16,885.01 to return Cadence to its pre-loss condition. Our client came to us for assistance with the $4,579.74 under-indemnification and out-of-pocket expense to safely return their vehicle to its pre-loss OEM condition.
