Diminished Value Claim

Your repaired car is worth less. Claim the difference.

The at-fault driver's insurer paid for the repair. They still owe you the value your car lost. Get your free estimate in about three minutes.

A repaired car sells for less than one that was never hit. That gap is called diminished value, and in most states the at-fault driver's insurer owes it to you.

No card required. See your range before you decide.

USOB-compliant appraisal

Real support, not a chatbot

If the adjuster disputes the figure, our team helps you read their response and prepare your reply.

Eligibility

Who can file a diminished value claim

The vehicle was in an accident and has been repaired, or has a repair estimate.

Someone else was at fault and their insurer is handling the claim.

The damage is on record — a police report, claim number, or repair invoice.

If you were at fault, diminished value is only claimable in Georgia.

Leased vehicles and total losses follow a different process.

Not sure which applies? The next step asks two questions and tells you where you stand before you pay anything.
