After we were successful in convincing the other driver’s insurer that its insured caused the accident, we proved that our client’s claim for loss of use and diminished value was worth more than $100,000 resulting in the at­-fault insurer tendering its $100,000 policy limit to our client.

Exotic cars can suffer substantial diminished value, even where an accident causes minor damage. Wealthy people simply do not want to purchase any expensive car that has any accident history. Often, the history of a vehicle and its ownership are more important than actually using and driving the vehicle. In this example, one of my clients owned a brand new Aston Martin DB9 Volante with 1,400 miles for which they paid about $159,250. This vehicle was hit by a commercial truck while parked on a street.

We were able to convince our client’s insurer to permit our client to obtain the at­-fault insurer’s money before it made its claim for subrogation.

The airbags deployed in this Ford Focus in the accident. In our opinion, cars that suffer airbag deployment should be declared a total loss because consumers do not want to buy a car that where the airbags deployed. When a potential buyer questions the safety and integrity of a vehicle, this lack of confidence causes doubt which dissuades a buyer from buying.

The result is a major loss in value. In this case, we recovered $10,000 for the owner which was the policy limit.

This band new Jaguar XKR cost more than $100,000. This car was hit head-on by a driver going the opposite direction at an intersection. Unfortunately, the driver that caused the accident only had a $10,000 property damage liability policy limit which is the State of Florida minimum insurance. This case is interesting because this was a very expensive car that was brand new and suffered massive damage, more than $50,000.00 in repairs. Most cars would have been declared a total loss if the cost to repair was $50,000.00. Because this car was so expensive, it was repaired. The challenge in this case was that the owner’s insurance company paid for the $50,000 repairs and wanted to get the $10,000.00 in property damage liability insurance from the at-fault insurer.

We negotiated with our client’s insurer and the insurer allowed us to get the full $10,000.00 for our client for diminished value.

This was rear ended accident. We recovered $11,000.00 on a repair that cost $17,267.93. We were successful in arguing that our client had an additional claim for loss of use as he was provided with a Dodge Charger rather than a car similar to his Jaguar. Given the difference in the two cars, our client was entitled to additional damages for loss of use. The law says the owner is entitled to a similar vehicle during the repair period for loss of use. You cannot replace Jaguar sports car with a Dodge Charger; therefore, our client sustained damages for loss of use.
