Diminished Value Claims
Recover the value your vehicle lost after an accident.
Even after a flawless repair, your vehicle's market value drops significantly due to its accident history. Diminished Value claims recover that lost value from the at-fault party's insurance. CTI's experts quantify exactly how much value your vehicle has lost using industry-standard methodologies and fight to recover it — turning an invisible loss into real money back in your pocket.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is diminished value?
Diminished value is the difference between your vehicle's market value before the accident and its value after repairs. Even with perfect repairs, a vehicle with accident history is worth less on the open market.
Who pays the diminished value claim?
Diminished value claims are typically filed against the at-fault driver's insurance company — not your own. This is a third-party claim separate from your repair coverage.
Is it hard to file a diminished value claim nationwide?
Diminished value case law varies by state. However, strong cases exist — particularly for newer vehicles, luxury brands, and situations with clear at-fault liability. CTI navigates these complexities for you.
Which vehicles qualify for diminished value claims?
The strongest cases involve newer vehicles (under 5 years old), low mileage, luxury or high-value brands, and accidents where the other driver was clearly at fault.
