Diminished Value Claims

Your Car Lost Value After an Accident. Get That Money Back.

After an accident, your vehicle is often worth less even after it has been fully repaired. That loss is called diminished value. We help drivers find out if they qualify and pursue that lost value.

Check If I Qualify How It Works

Checking your eligibility is free and doesn’t obligate you to move forward. Results vary by vehicle and claim.

The Basics

What Is Diminished Value?

Even after a vehicle is repaired the right way, its accident history follows it. Buyers see a repaired car differently than one that was never in an accident, and that difference in value is diminished value.

Many drivers never realize this loss can be claimed. If someone else was responsible for your accident, or your own policy allows it, you may be entitled to compensation for that lost value, separate from your repair costs.

Before the Accident

Your vehicle has a market value based on its age, mileage, and condition, with a clean history.

After Repairs

Even with quality repairs, the accident is now part of the vehicle’s history, and that can lower what it’s worth.
