Intersection accidents are the single most common collision type in the Phoenix Valley, accounting for a disproportionate share of all crashes reported to Arizona law enforcement. Red-light runners, left-turn failures, and right-of-way violations at busy intersections like Scottsdale Road and Shea, Southern and Mesa Drive, Chandler Boulevard and Arizona Avenue, and dozens of others cause significant vehicle damage and substantial diminished value. Depending on impact angle and speed, intersection collision DV claims in Arizona typically range from $1,500 to $7,000 or more.
Intersection accidents can produce a wide range of damage patterns — front-end, side-impact, rear-corner, and multi-point impacts are all common. Orlando Auto Body's I-CAR Gold certified technicians are experienced with every type of intersection collision damage, and we repair your vehicle using OEM parts and factory procedures at our Mesa, Scottsdale, and Gilbert locations. Regardless of the impact configuration, every qualifying repair includes a free $450 Diminished Value Appraisal Packet that accounts for the specific damage pattern and its effect on your vehicle's market value.
Arizona's wide, grid-pattern roads with higher speed limits mean that intersection collisions often occur at speeds of 35 to 50 mph — fast enough to cause serious structural damage. If another driver ran a red light, failed to yield on a left turn, or otherwise caused your intersection accident within the last two years, you have a strong DV claim. The at-fault driver's insurance company will not mention diminished value, but Orlando Auto Body will. Call us today for a free intersection accident DV assessment.
