Diminished Value Claim Attorney in Jacksonville
A careless driver smashes into your beautiful and expensive automobile. You have repaired it, but the car will never be the same. Receiving such a shock to its chassis, motor, electrical system, and hydraulic system has left the vehicle in a degraded state, no matter the quality of the repair. You simply will not be able to sell the car for what it is worth. No one who sees the repair bill or crash report will pay a proper resale value. This loss of value can be recuperated.
It is your right in the state of Florida to make a Diminished Value claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Simply put, this means that you have a right to claim the amount of value lost in your vehicle caused by another driver who caused the property damage. Diminished Value is one of the tightly guarded secrets in the insurance industry. The company that holds the at-fault driver’s policy is unlikely to inform you of it because their aim is to minimize the money they pay out in a motor vehicle crash.
Some insurance companies recognize the legitimacy of such claims but make it difficult for you to recover the money. Contact the diminished value claim attorney at Lindell Farson & Zebouni, P.A. It is better to retain the services of an experienced attorney than to fight the battle alone.
