Apex Damage Appraisals is based in Lynchburg, so in-person inspections here are the easiest we do. If another driver damaged your car, or you and your insurer can't agree on the damage amount, Geoff can inspect, document, and give you a number you can stand behind.
Because we're local, Geoff can usually see your vehicle where it sits: at home, at work, or at the repair facility. Seeing the actual repair, not just photos, matters for both a diminished value report and an appraisal-clause dispute.
Three sides to every claim. I've worked all of them. Geoff Albach has spent 33 years in the industry as an independent appraiser, an insurance staff adjuster, and a collision repair operations director.
Your car was repaired, but an accident history lowers what buyers will pay. We document that loss. Start a DV claim →

Yes. Lynchburg is our home base, and in-person inspections here are standard.
Often, yes. Call ahead and we'll coordinate a time with you and the facility.
Generally yes, against the at-fault driver's insurer. Virginia courts allow loss in market value in addition to repair cost (Averett v. Shircliff, 1977).
General information, not legal advice. Talk to a Virginia attorney about your specific claim.
