A severe snow and ice storm recently swept across Texas, leaving behind dangerous road conditions and vehicle damage. From ice buildup to slick roads and collisions, many Texan drivers stepped outside after the storm to find cracked windshields, dents, or vehicles no longer safe to drive.

For some, the damage was significant enough that insurance companies declared their vehicles a total loss. The following insurance settlement process is often stressful, especially when the initial payout doesn’t reflect a vehicle’s pre-storm value.

That’s where we stepped in. Our team has been helping Texas vehicle owners navigate total loss claims to ensure their insurance settlement reflects a fair and accurate vehicle valuation after storm damage.

Vehicle Damage and Total Loss Claims After an Ice Storm

Ice storms are especially tough on vehicles. Unlike hail, ice accumulates unevenly and can fall from power lines, trees, and buildings. Even vehicles that seem repairable at first might later be deemed a total loss once safety concerns and repair costs are fully assessed.

After major storms like the one that just hit Texas, insurance companies often face a surge in claims. In these situations, settlement offers may rely on generalized market data that doesn’t always account for a vehicle’s specific condition, features, or local Texas market value. For many Texan vehicle owners, this means receiving payouts that fall short of what they actually deserve.

How My Write Off Supports Texas Drivers

My Write Off has been helping vehicle owners across Texas by providing independent, data-driven total loss valuations. Our reports are built using extensive market research and over 20 years of expertise. This gives Texan drivers the tools they need to advocate for a fair settlement.

Our approach helps ensure settlements reflect true market value from before the ice storm.
