Damage & Loss Appraisals

Damage and loss appraisals provide an accurate assessment of the current condition and value of pieces that have suffered physical harm or deterioration. These appraisals are essential for insurance claims, legal disputes, and estate settlements, offering a detailed report that documents the extent of damage and estimates the cost of restoration or loss in value. Conducted by certified professionals, damage and loss appraisals ensure collectors, attorneys, and estates have reliable information to support their financial and legal decisions.When loss or damage occurs, AFAA can provide appraisals for:

• Pre-loss and post-loss values

• Post-restoration value

• Loss-in-value assessments

Independent appraisals are often crucial for fair insurance settlements, and we frequently collaborate with professional conservators.
