What is diminished value, and am I entitled to it?

Category: Insurance, Claims & Your Rights

Diminished value is the reduction in your vehicle’s market value after a collision — even after repairs are made perfectly. A vehicle with an accident history is worth less than one without, and in many cases you can file a diminished value claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. Nevada allows diminished value claims for third-party claims. If you have questions about this, your attorney or a public adjuster can help you pursue it.
