Lexington is in the Shenandoah Valley, west of Lynchburg. Call to schedule an inspection, and if a trip doesn't make sense for your claim, Geoff can start from your photos and estimates.
Lexington is an independent city and the county seat of Rockbridge County, home to Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University. It sits near the junction of I-81 and I-64, so interstate collisions, including ones involving tractor-trailers, are part of the local picture.
Crashes on I-81 and I-64 often involve commercial vehicles and their insurers. Keep the police report, the trucking company's information and every estimate, and get your own documentation of the damage and lost value.
Three sides to every claim. I've worked all of them. Geoffrey C. Albach has spent 33 years in the industry as an independent appraiser, a former insurance staff adjuster, and a collision repair operations director.
