The term “Philadelphia Diminished Value” means that cars which were damaged and subsequently repaired lose market value as a result of having a repair history, sometimes known as a “Bad CARFAX.” In Pennsylvania, this lost amount is recoverable from insurance companies of at-fault parties. The amount of diminished value is determined by the damages that were repaired and the vehicle itself.

Legal precedents have been established that inherent diminished value damages are recoverable when repair will not restore the car or truck to its fair market value before the loss. In cases where probative evidence shows that repairs failed to restore the fair market value prior to the damage, the cost of repairs made plus post-repair diminution in value of the property will ordinarily be the proper measure of damages. This applies to diminished value in Philadelphia as well as the rest of Pennsylvania.

The St. Lucie Appraisal Company’s methodology for determining diminished value is unique within the industry. After making our determination of a car’s loss in value, we confirm our opinion by consulting with the sales managers at six local dealerships. We average their unbiased opinions to establish the vehicle’s diminished value. This proof establishes probative evidence into the existence and approximate amount of diminished value.

It is this type of reporting that car owners need to convince insurance companies to make fair settlement offers. In cases that require litigation, this evidence is what is necessary to obtain a favorable judgement. Car owners are entitled to recover the reasonable repair costs and any residual diminution in value.
