Diminished Value claim due to accident damage?
Has anyone had a diminished value claim against an insurance company? They finally came up with a repair estimate for my Z about 1/3 of value of car, so not enough to total it but I think enough to try to apply diminished value if possible. I would like to find out the best procedure for this claim if possible, Florida law does not preclude the claim but I don't know if it can be sucessfully pushed.

Its called gap insurance that you get with NISSAN when you get your Z. it only cost me $5 a month extra.
Yes insurance companies suck big fat D|CK.
They are all scams, and I cant wait till the goverment steps in and regulates them.

I'm glad I never dealt with diminished value, cus it's such a stupid rule. I agree that if the accident wasn't your fault, get the other guy's company to pay for it. Not only can you get loss of use, but you can generally get a little more out of them. Also, no insurance company is afraid of a lawyer. They have teams of them.
btw, the government does regulate insurance companies, it's called the DOI.

I bought Gap Insurance but the damage is not enough to total the car. There is frame damage and to the roof and the driver side quarter panel and rear bumper etc etc etc rear ended by fully loaded tractor trailer.

Yes. I got a check for Diminished Value after my Z was rearended by a drunk back in 04. Research it through your insurance. I don't think all states participate but check and see.
