MIAMI - In Florida, if an automobile was repaired as a result of an accident that was the fault of a third-party, consumers may make a claim for Diminished Value. In short, diminished value means that your car, because it now has a bad CARFAX, is worth less. How much less depends on the type of car, how badly damaged, etc. Consumers of high-end cars such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche tend to be more discriminating and usually won't buy a vehicle that was repaired. Diminished Value can result in 50% of the vehicle's value lost. A licensed appraiser can provide a report detailing exactly how much less your vehicle is worth. While a diminished value appraisal is a basic requirement, do you also need an attorney? Keeping in mind the fact that insurance companies in Florida have been very hush-hush regarding a consumer's rights to make auto diminished value claims, expect them not to jump for joy when they receive yours. Simply put, if you are dealing with an insuror who handles claims in a fair manner you won't need to be represented by a lawyer.
Car been in a collision that was the fault of the other driver? Was your automobile repaired? Look up your vehicle's trade-in value and deduct a minimum of fifteen percent - that figure represents the diminished value. In Florida, you can get it back.
