TWO HUGE TIPS REGARDING TWO SPECIFIC TYPES OF CLAIMS.
2. LOSS OF USE
Has your supercar received damage due to the fault of another driver?
The price difference of your SUPERCAR "WITH" an ACCIDENT listed on the vehicle's TITLE and the price "WITHOUT" an accident listed on your SUPERCAR'S TITLE may vary drastically!
This is why it is important for you to know about what exactly a Diminished Value Claim is and why it's important to know when to hire an attorney regarding your potential Diminished Value Claim.
How do you calculate Diminished Value in Florida?
To calculate diminished value in Florida, you generally need to assess the difference in your vehicle's market value before and after an accident. This process typically involves:
Evaluating the Pre-Accident Value of Your Vehicle: This is the value of your car before it was involved in an accident.
Determining the Quality of Repairs: The diminished value can be influenced by how well the vehicle was repaired.
Considering Florida-Specific Factors: Since each state can have different rules and practices, it's important to consider any Florida-specific regulations or standards that might apply.
Consulting with Professionals: For an accurate calculation, it's often recommended to seek advice from professional appraisers or legal experts who are familiar with diminished value claims in Florida.
This approach provides a general framework for understanding how diminished value is calculated in Florida, without getting into complex formulas or legal specifics.
Now that you finally received your SUPERCAR back after weeks if not months without the vehicle due to it being in the body shop for repairs all from an accident that was NOT YOUR FAULT, you may be entitled to Loss Of Use (LOU).
You're probably asking what is "Loss Of Use", it's exactly what it sounds like though it gets more intricate based on state statutes. In the state of Florida, Loss Of Use applies when a person is without the use of their personal property when they should be able to use their property at the given time causing the abruption of inconvenience to be the loss of use. So in many cases, when you have your SUPERCAR and you enjoy taking it out on a nice Friday night, going for a drive in downtown on a hustling and bustling weekend or just feel like driving your SUPERCAR to work for the day, you should be entitled to using your super car when you choose.
You should be compensated for a fair, like-kind & quality vehicle or compensatory rate that you are without during the time-period that your vehicle is in for repairs at.
Insurance companies aren't obligated to notify you about Loss Of Use or Diminished Value, rather you are expected to make these such claims in order to be fairly and rightfully compensated after you have endured the time and financial burden due to somebody else's negligence.
