He/she calls to advise that the insurer wants to write-off the car because the estimated repair cost is greater than its "Red Book" actual cash value. Your insured feels that this is unfair and wants the vehicle to be repaired. What should you tell your insured? Losses are rarely settled according to the "Red Book" value, so you'll negotiate with the insurer for the vehicle to be repaired.
