Article aims to help consumers understand Diminished Value claims and how they work.

Has your vehicle lost value after an auto accident? How many of us would agree to pay the full fair market value for a car that we knew had received substantial property damage in an accident? One of the basic questions any buyer asks before purchasing a car is whether it’s been damaged in an accident. Professional auto buyers are trained for the signs indicating body repair damage on a car. The average person knows they should always request a Carfax report on a vehicle before purchasing it. This is because we all recognize that vehicles lose their value after the vehicle sustains substantial damage in an accident.

I have represented people involved in automobile accidents for more than 20 years. During my initial meetings with clients, one of the most important topics of conversation is the insurance coverage they purchased for their own auto. Many people tell me they have “full coverage”, believing they are adequately insured. However, when I ask the specifics of what coverage they actually own, they generally have no idea. Do they have bodily injury coverage, which protects them if they cause injury to a third party? Did their agent explain to them the need for uninsured motorist coverage to protect them if they are injured by an uninsured driver, and did they purchase it? What limits of coverage did they actually buy? They simply do not know.
