Diminished Value After Car Accident

Diminished value claims can mean more money in your pocket after a car crash if the there driver is at fault.  If you have been in a car accident and the other driver damages your car then their insurance company should pay to repair your vehicle. However, once your vehicle is repaired it is worth far less than it was immediately before the accident.  This is loss in value and you are entitled to money if the other driver is at fault for the accident in addition to the cost of the repair for your vehicle.

Requirements for a Diminished Value Claim:

1. You do not lease the car. This only applies to owned cars regardless of whether you have a loan.
2. You did not cause the accident.
3. The car is less than 10 years old.
