If you’ve recently been in an accident, you may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure what to do next.
You’re going to be okay.
Your vehicle can be evaluated, repaired when appropriate, or determined to be a total loss.
Everything else, we’ll help you understand.
My name is Paul Addington. I’ve spent more than forty years helping vehicle owners through one of the most stressful experiences they’ll ever have.
One thing I’ve learned is that people do not make their best decisions when they are scared. They make their best decisions when they understand what is happening.
That is why EstiVerify exists.
Not to tell you what to do. To help you understand your options so you can confidently decide what is best for you and your family.
Let’s take this one step at a time.
Instead of wondering what comes next, this page walks you through the process step by step.
People come first. Vehicles can wait.
Every accident has context. Your recollection matters.
Photos help preserve visible information before conditions change.
Most estimates are technical. We help translate them.
Not every situation needs the same level of help.
While we work, you can learn what matters most.
You receive plain-English findings and possible next questions.
Understanding matters more than simply receiving a report.
Knowledge helps you advocate for yourself.
The first priority after any accident is people. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately. If everyone is safe, then you can begin thinking about the vehicle, the claim, the estimate, and the repair process.
Your recollection helps provide context before we review the estimate.
We may ask where the impact occurred, what direction the vehicles were moving, whether airbags deployed, whether the vehicle drives differently, and what concerns you most.
The customer story gives context. The vehicle and estimate provide information. Together, they help provide context for the estimate review.
Good photos help document the visible condition of the vehicle before towing, teardown, repairs, storage, or additional handling changes what can be seen.
That is not your fault. Collision estimates are written as technical documents for insurance companies, repair shops, and estimating systems.
Our job is to help translate what the estimate says, what it may not say, and what questions may be worth asking based on the available information.
The right next step depends on where you are in the process.
Not sure whether to pay for the repair yourself or file an insurance claim?

Learn MoreWas your vehicle declared a total loss and you're not sure how the value was calculated?
Learn MoreWhile your report is being prepared, EstiVerify can guide you to educational resources based on your accident, your vehicle, and your concerns.
Your report is not meant to overwhelm you with more technical language. It is designed to help you understand what we found, why it may matter, what questions may be worth asking, and what your possible next steps are.
A clear explanation of important observations.
Plain-English education, not industry jargon.
Helpful next questions for your repair shop or insurer.
If something in your report is unclear, the job is not finished. EstiVerify exists to help you understand, not just send you information.
That is normal. Collision repair is complicated. Our job is to explain until it makes sense.
No. We help you understand your options so you can decide what is best for you and your family.
Then we will tell you that. We do not create problems that do not exist.
When you first arrived, you may have felt uncertain, frustrated, or overwhelmed.
Our goal is that when you leave EstiVerify, you understand more, recognize more, ask better questions, and make better decisions based on the available information.
That is why EstiVerify exists: to give vehicle owners the knowledge and confidence to advocate for themselves.
We promise to tell you the truth, even when it is not the answer you hoped for.
We promise to explain before we recommend.
We promise to follow evidence before opinion.
We promise to take the information you provide seriously and review the available evidence carefully.
Because the decisions you make after a collision matter.
When you leave EstiVerify, you will be more knowledgeable and more confident than when you found us.
