Massachusetts ADALB Overturns Ruling on Use of Video to Appraise Damage; Addresses Used Part Specification

October 9, 2015 By CollisionWeek Editor

Safety concerns led to repeal of last year’s advisory ruling by the appraiser licensing board on the use of photos and video. Issues new ruling cautioning appraisers on specification of used parts, such as suspension, that could impact safety.

Following the appointment of three new members to the Massachusetts Auto Damage Appraiser Licensing Board by Governor Charlie Baker in June, the Board repealed Advisory Ruling 2014-01, that allowed the use of video and photos during the appraisal process, at its July 21, 2015 meeting. The board also issued a new advisory ruling last week on the use of used parts.
