Recently, you were involved in an auto accident and it’s the other drivers fault. The insurance company directs you to a collision shop for repairs and the insurance company agrees to pays the for your damages. Everything seem great, right? Wrong! You may be losing thousands of dollars later.

There’s an accident claim provision in your policy that your insurance company isn’t going to mention. You’re entitled to more settlement money than just the repair amount. This addition amount is called – Diminished Value. You must ask, then push, then push some more to get what you’re owed.

There's an unlimited amount of information available to car buyers to safeguard themselves from overpaying for a car based upon its history.
