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.

2. Does my car 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 affect the resale value of your vehicle. It’s similar to a scar on the body. It never goes away. 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.

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.
