Georgia is one of the select states that allows claimants to collect compensation for diminished value from their own car insurance policy. In Mabry v. State Farm, the court ruled that diminution of value was included in the liability shouldered by auto insurance companies in first-party claims for physical damage. So, you can claim diminished value when filing a claim with your insurer, but there may be specific criteria you have to meet for the claim to be valid. Our Atlanta diminished value attorney can walk you through the requirements for claiming lost value under your own insurance policy.
