How to File a DV Claim in Jacksonville

  1. 1

    Complete repairs at one of Jacksonville's certified body shops (Caliber Collision, etc.) and obtain a complete itemized invoice with OEM/aftermarket part designations.

  2. 2

    Order a USPAP-compliant DV appraisal grounded in Jacksonville-area comparable sales — not generic state-wide averages. TOP-DV delivers in 24 hours for $249.

  3. 3

    Submit a written demand to the at-fault driver's carrier, citing Fla. Stat. §95.11(3).

  4. 4

    If the carrier counters low, escalate per the insurer's playbook (State Farm responds to Request a 'team manager review' in writing after the first low offer — Team Managers carry authority to negotiate outside the model when presented with comparable-sales evidence).

  5. 5

    If still unresolved, file in Duval County Court — Small Claims (up to $8,000) — bring the USPAP appraisal as Exhibit A.
