Diminished value is defined as loss of a vehicle’s value after it has been repaired due to a defect or auto accident. A diminished value claim may be made if the claimant believes that a purchaser will not pay as much for a car that has been repaired than they would for a similar vehicle that has not been repaired. As damage/repair history is reported to a Carfax/AutoCheck type service, even if a car is repaired to a "like new" condition, a car's market value will be impacted negatively. If you are unsure if your vehicle has been affected, our highly trained attorneys can help you determine if you are entitled to file a diminished value claim.
