Understanding Your Claim

What Is Diminished Value?

Imagine two identical cars parked side by side. Same year, same model, same mileage. One has a clean history. The other was in an accident and repaired. Would you pay the same price for both? Neither would anyone else.

That difference in value is called diminished value — and if you weren't at fault, the other driver's insurance company owes you that money. Most people never file this claim because they don't know it exists.

Three Types of Diminished Value:

1
Inherent — Loss from accident history alone (most common)
2
Repair-Related — Loss from imperfect or substandard repairs
3
Immediate — Value drop before any repairs are made
