WHAT IS DIMINISHED VALUE?
Diminished value is the loss of ACTUAL CASH VALUE resulting from an accident determined not to be your fault.
Your vehicle looks as good as it did before the accident, but it is now much less desirable due to the repaired damage. When you decide to sell or trade your vehicle now, or in the future, it will be worth less than had the accident not occurred.
Usually a frame or structurally damaged vehicle cannot be re-sold as a "certified used vehicle." This could impact the vehicle's value by as much as 40%!

YOU MUST PROVE THE AMOUNT OF DIMINISHED VALUE
In Florida YOU are required to prove the amount of the Diminished Value.
The adjuster for the at-fault insurance company DOES NOT have your best interest in mind. They may lie to you about Diminished Value recovery and eventually may present you with low-ball settlement offers.
To protect yourself and support your claim, you will need expert evaluation to prove that Diminished Value has occurred and to what extent!

I don't know anything more intimidating than standing alone against a
big name auto insurance company knowing your claim for thousands of
dollars in diminished value is fair and just and having that insurance
company simply thumb its nose at you.
...
At our first meeting John made clear to me several things.
He would give me an honest appraisal of my vehicle. No padding the
numbers. His reputation in the industry depends on it.
...
And so it was I won my case for every dollar owed to me. But the best
part was watching Mr. Hackett in action, in the courtroom the day of
the trial. With his calm, easy going, even demeanor he let the facts
speak for themselves. And, I know he made the attorney for the
insurance company wish he was anywhere else.
Thank you Mr. Hackett!
Sincerely,
L Keller
