Washington appraisal clause eligibility and vehicle value
Find the policy and endorsements that covered the loss. Washington requires an appraisal clause in auto policies with first-party physical-damage coverage issued or renewed effective on or after January 1, 2026. Older policies may also include one.
For the valuation itself, review the garage location, date of loss, vehicle specifications, and comparable adjustments. We explain what to send and how to check the report.
