Understanding Diminished Value
What is Diminished Value?
The loss in market value of a vehicle after it has been in an accident and repaired, even if repairs were done properly. A vehicle with an accident history is worth less than an identical vehicle without one.
Types of Diminished Value
- • Inherent DV: Loss due to accident history alone
- • Repair-Related DV: Loss from imperfect repairs
- • Immediate DV: Difference before and after repair
When Can You Claim?
- • You were NOT at fault
- • Claim against other driver's insurance
- • Within statute of limitations (varies by state)
- • Vehicle was repaired, not totaled
