For attorneys
A repair estimate a jury can read.
Property damage disputes turn on documents written in estimating-system code. RO Defender turns them into exhibits a mediator or jury can follow: what the repair consisted of, and exactly where two estimates disagree.
What you get
- The repair, in plain English
- The Repair Cost Statement restates an estimate as labor by trade with hours and rates, parts and materials under plain headings, and the scope of work — adding up to the estimate to the cent, so nothing in it can be called a new number.
- Where the estimates disagree
- Estimate Reconciliation compares the repair shop's estimate with the insurer's line by line: every reduction, every changed operation, every line only one side wrote, and the gap before deductible.
- Traceable to the originals
- Every reconciled row cites its line number on both estimates, so each figure can be checked against the source documents.
- Parts a layperson can follow
- Parts are listed by what they are — replacement parts, one-time-use parts, materials, procedures, sublet work — instead of by where they fall in the estimate.
Common questions
Is this legal advice or expert testimony?
No. RO Defender reorganises and compares the estimates you provide. It does not assess liability, value a claim, or replace an expert; the documents are tools for presenting the estimates clearly.
Where do the numbers come from?
Entirely from the estimates you upload. The statement totals to the estimate's pre-tax total exactly, and the reconciliation reports differences between the two documents without judging either.
What happens to the files we upload?
Estimates often contain personal information about people who are not our customers. How it is handled, who processes it and how long it is kept are set out in the privacy policy.
What does it cost?
A single document is $19 with no subscription. Unlimited use is $29 a month per tool, or $49 for both.
