23 de mayo Florida Diminished Value Claim: Lo que usted necesita saber
After a car accident, you vehicle is likely to have suffered damage. The body shop often does everything they can to repair your vehicle. However, just because repairs are made does not necessarily mean that you are completely made whole. You may have rights to compensation for the diminished value of your vehicle due the car accident. It may be in your best interested to contact a diminished value claim attorney that has experience in handling these types of claims.
What Is Diminished Value?
Diminished value is the difference between what your vehicle was worth before the accident and what your vehicle is worth after/ with subsequent repairs. Diminished value can decrease the reliability of the vehicle, the life/ future use of the vehicle and what some consider most important, the resell value. Anyone that has ever purchased a used vehicle before knows that vehicles with no prior accidents typically are worth more. An accident on a vehicle’s record can make it harder to resell and often, less desirable. Therefore, it may be in your best interest to pursue a diminished value claim if it available to you.
Who Is Responsible For Providing Compensation For A Diminished Value Claim?
In Florida, it is typically the at-fault party involved in the car accident that is responsible for paying a diminished value claim. It is important that evidence is collected throughout the claim including before and after photos, damage estimates, current vehicle costs, and sometimes, expert reports.
Factors Considered In A Diminished Value Claim
There are a variety of factors that are considered when evaluating diminished value claims after a car accident.
