rear ended

Ntherapy · 10-01-2014, 03:07 PM

I have a question of value. I was sitting a red light this morning minding my business and a honda accord rear ended my 2014 vette. Fortunately she wasn't going very fast and minimal damage appears to have been done (haven't had it officially looked at so there may be more). The question is when her insurance adjuster calls me should I ask for not only the damage to be repaired but also for some loss of value because once it is wreck it is no longer original and I assume it will lose some of it original value? What do you think and any idea of how much loss of value would be?

Depressed about the vette.

no waste of time but they will pay nicely if you neck hurts.

Nope. I had the same thought when a guy hit my wife's new Mercedes. They just pay to fix it. I wasn't able to claim or get paid for any perceived or otherwise lost value because it has now been in a wreak. If you felt that strong about it you could probably try small claims court but I think you will be facing an up hill battle.
