Editorial Policy

MyAutoTriage publishes original guides and free tools about car insurance claims. This page explains how we research, write, and maintain that content.

How we research

Our guides are written from publicly available regulatory sources, insurer-published claims information, and well-established industry formulas (such as the 17c diminished value formula and state total-loss threshold rules). Where a rule varies by state or by insurer, we say so rather than presenting a single number as universal.

How our tools work

Every calculator on this site uses a transparent, published formula or a general industry rule of thumb — never a hidden or proprietary model — and states its assumptions on the same page. Our letter generators assemble a first draft from the information you provide; they do not access, store, or transmit your claim details anywhere.

Corrections

Insurance regulations and formulas change. If you spot outdated or incorrect information, please contact us and we will review and correct it.
