Less than 1% of the population in USA
are aware of Diminished Value.
Naturally, many of our customers have
questions about how we determine
Diminished Value, and what the process
is for recovering this loss. Here are a list
of our most commonly asked questions:

1. What is Diminished Value?

Diminished Value is the difference in value between a vehicle with an accident history, and
the same vehicle without an accident history. This is also known as "Loss of Value"

Example: A Honda Accord that has been in an accident is worth less than a Honda Accord
with no accidents. Even if the Honda Accord was repaired well with no visible damage, the
risk of unseen damage increases, and will cause Diminished Value.

FAQ's

3. Am I owed Diminished Value?

After an accident, the insurer is obligated to completely restore your vehicle to the
condition it was in before the accident (pre-loss condition). Even after repairs, your
vehicle is not in pre-loss condition because of Diminished Value. After an accident you are
owed Diminished Value.

4. Who pays Diminished Value?

The person at fault is responsible. Typically, their insurance company is responsible for
covering any DIV obligation that is owed to you.

5. How do I get paid for Diminished Value?

To get paid for Diminished Value, you must provide documentation to the responsible
insurance company with an accurate assessment of your Diminished Value. That's where
we come in (keep reading).

6. Who is working for me?

The consumer is usually trapped between the insurance company's desire to minimize
their losses and the repair facilities desire to make a profit. Today many repair facilities
and insurance companies have established relationships similar to a HMO/PPO.

DVAP is an unbiased third party to assure the consumer that these circumstances do not
short-change them in the recovery of their losses owed under their policy and the law.

2. Does my vehicle have Diminished Value?

After an accident, your car suffered Diminished Value. Even the best repairs to your
vehicle will have a permanent condition called "evidence of repairs," which will negatively
effect the resale value of your vehicle.

Under law, everyone must disclose any accident history when selling a vehicle. After such
a disclosure, most buyers are not willing to pay the same amount for the vehicle.
