1. Can I collect Diminished Value from the insurance company?

• Yes, if the accident was not your fault, you are owed from the insurance company of the at fault party or your insurance company under your uninsured motorist coverage.

2. The insurance company says the vehicle was repaired correctly and therefore has not suffered diminished value, is that correct?

• Absolutely not. The insurance company is saying this, since they don't want to pay the claim. Inherent diminished value is the automatic loss in value from the collision. The vehicle is worth less since now it is not what it was before the accident and has a history.

3. The insurance company says the law doesn't allow for a diminished value claim, is this true?

• Most certainly not. Insurance companies will do and say whatever to avoid paying these claims. Diminished value claims and laws supporting them have been around for many years.

4. Will I have to sell my vehicle to file a Diminished Value Claim?

• No again. You have suffered a market loss of value and are entitled to be compensated from the insurance company.

5. Do I need to hire a expert to file a claim?

• Yes. As a claimant you have the burdon of proof for the claim you make. Without a diminished value report and post repair inspection you have not substantiated the claim

6. Is a Diminished Value claim really worth pursuing?

• The answer is yes. The insurance company hopes not, they save millions of dollars a year by avoiding payment on these claims. Most people with the proper documentation and are persistent in the pursuit of their losses end up collecting.
