Insurance companies don’t like paying for diminished value, especially when the amount exceeds $10,000.00 which is common for cars that suffered structural damage or air bag deployment.

Even fewer folks are aware of how insurance companies treat a second automobile diminished value claim involving a previously repaired car. Despite the fact that your car was repaired to factory standards after the first crash, insurers will argue there is no compensation for the loss in value in cars that have a repair history, no matter how minor. Insurance companies typically attempt to convince claimants that their cars have no value after being repaired which is, of course, nonsense.

It is essential for everyone to know – an initial diminished value claim on a car typically results in a settlement for the car owner. A second claim on the same car will probably require litigation.
