About Damage Claim Appraisals in Oklahoma

AppraiseItNow provides professional damage claim appraisals for Oklahoma residents and businesses dealing with loss events ranging from severe weather and fire to theft and accidents.

Our appraisers in Oklahoma are ready to document damage, assess diminished value, and produce reports that hold up to insurer and IRS scrutiny.

Across 17 published Oklahoma appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how much research is visible in the report, and how quickly we answer.

  • My daughter had purchased a very collectible 2003 Mustang Cobra terminator just 3 months before her accident with 50,000 miles on it, for 30,000 dollars. We were experiencing some very heavy rains and she hydroplaned and smashed into a guard rail and totaled her car. The insurance company offered her $18,000, but we told them that was an insult to this car. We kept going round and round with them but they were not budging. Finally we googled an independent appraiser and found AppraiseItNow! Their appraised value was 26,462. They negotiated with the insurance for us and we ended up with 25,900. They were awesome and helped us get much closer to the appropriate value of the Cobra. Absolutely worth the price we paid. Highly recommended!

    Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim

  • These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.

    Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage

  • AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.

    Machinery & Equipment Appraisal

  • I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.

Frequently Asked Questions on Oklahoma Damage Claim Appraisers

What is the filing deadline for property damage lawsuits in Oklahoma?

Two years from the date the damage occurs, under 12 O.S. § 95(A)(3). Oklahoma applies no discovery rule for personal property damage, so the clock does not wait for you to notice the harm or finish gathering repair and appraisal estimates.

Can a property damage award be tripled in Oklahoma?

Yes, when the damage was malicious. Both 21 O.S. § 1760 and 76 O.S. § 5 authorize treble damages, so a documented $3,000 loss can become a $9,000 award and still fit within small claims court's $10,000 cap. The multiplier makes the underlying appraisal the number everything else is built on.

What deadlines apply to claims against the State of Oklahoma?

Three of them. The Governmental Tort Claims Act requires presenting the claim within one year of the loss on the official OMES Property Claim form, the state then has 90 days to respond, and if the claim is denied or deemed denied, suit must be filed within 180 days of that denial.

Does the winner recover attorney fees in Oklahoma property damage cases?

Yes. 12 O.S. § 940 awards the prevailing party reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and interest in civil actions for negligent or willful injury to property, a fee-shifting rule most states do not offer for property damage. It raises the stakes of proving, or overstating, the loss amount.
