Florida Diminished Value Claim FAQ's
Casas Law’s team knows that what you need now is answers. Start here:
-
Q
What is diminished value, and why does it matter?
ADiminished value refers to the reduction in a vehicle’s value after an accident. It matters because an accident will impact your car’s resale value and your overall financial loss.
-
Q
Is my car eligible for a diminished value claim?
AAll cars are eligible, but the diminished value has to exceed a certain value to make it worth hiring Casas Law to pursue your claim. Our services focus exclusively on diminished value claims for luxury vehicles valued at $100,000 or more.
-
Q
How is diminished value calculated?
ADiminished value is calculated by assessing factors such as the car’s pre-accident value, damages incurred, quality of repairs and post-accident value.
-
Q
Can I handle a diminished value claim on my own?
AYes. For diminished value claims on vehicles valued at less than $100,000, it usually does not make sense to hire an attorney due to the limited compensation at issue. However, on higher-value vehicles, having an experienced attorney can help you navigate this process more effectively and will likely result in a higher settlement than you might get on your own.
-
Q
What if the accident was my fault? Can I still claim diminished value?
ANo. Diminished value can only be claimed against an at-fault third party.
-
Q
How long do I have to file a diminished value claim?
AThe timeframe for filing a diminished value claim varies by state. It’s important to consult an experienced diminished value attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed timely.
-
Q
How much compensation can I expect for my diminished value claim?
AThe amount of compensation depends on several factors, including the severity of the property damage incurred. Our team will work diligently to maximize your claim based on the specific circumstances of your case.
-
Q
Do I need a car accident lawyer to recover my diminished value?
ANo, however, your claim will likely resolve faster and for a greater amount by retaining counsel.
-
Q
How does a Florida car accident lawyer help?
AAttorneys handle all aspects of the claim which often increases the amount recovered over settlements handled by vehicle owners themselves. While we focus on maximizing your settlement offer, you can focus on what matters most to you.
-
Q
Can you claim diminished value twice?
AThe technical answer is yes, however, there is a low likelihood of any recovery for a subsequent claim.
-
Q
Who is responsible for paying your diminished value claim?
AThe at-fault party is responsible and typically their insurance company will represent them as part of their property damage coverage.
-
Q
Will my vehicle's age and mileage affect my diminished value claim?
AYes. Diminished value is based on the difference between the market value of your vehicle prior to the accident and the market value after repairs. Market value always reflects the vehicle’s age and mileage, along with many other criteria.
