Diminished Value Claims & Car Accidents

Dedicated Car Accident Lawyer in Los Angeles

If you were recently in a car accident in Los Angeles or anywhere else in California, you may be able to file a diminished value claim if you own your vehicle outright and were not to blame for the accident.

So what is a diminished value claim?

If you had hopes of one day reselling your car but your recent accident put a wrench in those plans, this is where a diminished value claim can help.

These claims are intended to compensate you specifically for the loss of fair market value to your vehicle due to the car accident. It refers to the loss in value when your vehicle cannot be fully repaired.

The first step in the process of filing a diminished value claim is to have your vehicle looked at by a diminished value appraiser that you can find with the help of a Los Angeles-based car accident attorney. The appraiser will inspect your car and give you an estimate of what you could potentially recover for your vehicle’s lost value, along with a proof of loss report which you will need to retain.

Next, you will need to submit the proof of loss report to the insurance company of the driver who was at-fault for the car accident. From there, it is simply a matter of waiting to recover your settlement.
