Diminished Value Claims
Diminished Value cases arise when a vehicle loses market value after being involved in an accident, even after it has been fully repaired. In many instances, the vehicle owner is entitled to compensation for this loss from their insurance company, regardless of who is at-fault. Navigating these claims can be complex, as insurance companies may undervalue or outright deny the diminished value of a vehicle.

Their team understands the intricacies of these claims and knows how to effectively negotiate with insurance companies to ensure clients receive the compensation they deserve. By choosing Gastley Law, clients can feel confident that their case is in capable hands, with a firm committed to achieving the best possible outcome.
01
Diminished value refers to the decrease in a vehicle's market value after it has been involved in an accident, even if it has been fully repaired. After a crash, a vehicle may be considered less valuable by potential buyers because it has a history of damage, which can make it harder to sell or reduce its resale price.
02
While insurance typically covers the cost of repairs, it may not account for the reduced resale value caused by the accident history. In our cases, Gastley Law seeks compensation for the difference between the vehicle's pre-accident value and its post-repair value.
03
The amount of diminished value can depend on factors such as the severity of the damage, the vehicle’s age, and how much it was repaired.
