HI there, im currently trying to figure out how to go about seeking a claim for dimished value, my insurance company i would have to actually sue her while others are saying that all i need to do is call her insurance company, has anyone done this before?

Only 2 states allow diminished value payments through your Ins. co when the other won't cooperate. Don't count on this.

Do not hire a lawyer unless you want to piss away 30-40% of the diminished value award. There are tons of these guys on the internet trolling for business. File a formal claim with the Guilty parties Ins. co. Good companies have dedicated reps that handle this stuff.

BTW, I think you made a big mistake not calling the police...It's now your word against hers, despite the pics. Been there, done that. Allstate, the company that represented the girl that hit the guy behind me who then hit me was a little pissy about "Fault" until they found out there was a Video of the accident that the Police had viewed. Hopefully it all works out..

Hey, thanks for responding. I have a witness who saw her backing into the side of me, so i am hoping this can resolve any issues. I also did file a police report. Another question I had, was whether it was worth it. I went to the appraiser yesterday and he is suggesting the side door to be painted, the rear panel to be buffed from dents and painted, a brand new bumper, and also a new tire/rim in the driver rear side. He said most people that make a claim for loss of value have a car with major damage, so im not sure if I should take his word.

I think at the very least I will make a claim with her insurance company. Do i make the claim now or after the work is done on the car?

NYBladeZ 05-12-2010 01:14 PM
make a claim with your insurance company asap!

wishihadnav 05-12-2010 01:15 PM
^^make the claim now..waiting will not help.

Ive already made a claim with my insurance company to go after hers for the damage. My insurance company said i would have to call her company up myself and make the diminished value claim. So i will be doing that today

semtex 05-12-2010 01:27 PM
I would definitely go after DV. The fact of the matter is this. Years from now, when you decide you want to sell your car or trade it in, it is going to show up on a CarFax report that this damage happened. No matter how good the repair is, the fact that the damage is on a report will automatically lower your car's value. That's just the way it is. And this is what DV is meant to address / compensate you for.

Her insurance company is responsible for your damages and loss of value. What company is this? My experience was with Allstate and it was relatively painless..

Her insurance is Metropolitan Life. I am going to address this today, I have heard so many different ways to approach this, but forget about a lawyer, i will be demanding a claim for loss of value.

wishihadnav 05-12-2010 01:46 PM
a lawyer?..typically lawyers will take on BI claims...property damage however may be something that lawyers will not really be interested in...unless its a situation where the PD coverage of the B party has been exhausted..

wishihadnav 05-12-2010 01:49 PM
hmmm Met Life...they more than likely contract out their adjusters as their personal lines book is not their primary focus..

mick 05-12-2010 02:37 PM
too bad you can't get compensated for the anguish she has caused you. i mean, instead of enjoying your new car, you have to spend time figuring out how to fix it.

In the 8 Months I've been going to college in Florida, my car has been "rubbed" twice at school. no notes, ever. 1st time the paint buffed off, second time it was rubbed straight through to the plastic of the bumper. ******* nobody knows how to drive at my school :/

Told ya it was good :)

wishihadnav 05-12-2010 04:27 PM
haha..so wrong..

wishihadnav 05-12-2010 04:28 PM
to the OP...your best bet would be to have this discussion with your ins. agent...hopefully you have one instead of a 1-800 #...he/she's most qualified to answer all your questions..

I have had 3 very nice cars in the last 10 yrs and I park regular next to others and all and I can actually say I have not had a noticable door ding from cars hitting mine with their doors. Lucky? Probably but Im sure if I always took 2 spots someone would go out of their way to screw with the car.
Then guess what if they damage my car I can get the parking lot surveillance footage find their plate and torch their piece of **** car.

Do a google search on "Diminished Value" There is no shortage of slimebags out there willing to take your 40%.for "helping" you with this process..

if they have surveillance and if it sees all areas. My point being sometimes you ask for it even if it is illegal.

once again the OP needs to contact his agent or carrier...getting advise from non-proffessionals on a car forum really doesnt make much sense..every state has different laws and every carrier has different policy language..im not licensed in massachusetts so i can not go into great detail about that states ins. laws but rather recite general ISO formats..

wishihadnav 05-12-2010 07:24 PM
for all we know MA law may not allow diminished value claims..once again another question he needs to ask his agent.

Sorry I'm not going to read through all the pages of the same comments, but am I the only one who wonders why that mirror is in perfect condition?

susu 05-12-2010 10:30 PM
OP did mentioned that the white Honda was backing into that parking space and she obviously is a poor driver.

I will not let people mess up my cars period. If yall want to be passive about it and let people f-ck up your cars that's your choice but i'll be damned if I let some loser cost me any money.
