Good afternoon everyone,
Long read and for that I do apologize. I purchased a new Toyota Tundra 4x4 as a Christmas gift for myself. On January 16, the day Houston froze over, I was involved in an accident that shut down I-45 North in Conroe. I was vehicle #4 in a 4-car accident, and was not at fault. I immediately contacted my insurance company and filed a claim for the accident. My vehicle is currently being repaired by my insurance company, but will be a lengthy repair due to lack of availability of replacement parts at this time.
I have yet to make the first payment on my new truck, and I am wanting to file a 'Diminished Value Claim' for the obvious loss of resale value for my now permanently damaged new truck. The pre-accident value is obvious due to the fact that it is less than 6 wks old, has approx. 1000 miles on it, and in perfect shape.
Has anyone on the GS ever filed for a DimVal claim? If so, which company would you recommend? Were you successful in recovering an adequate amount for your loss of value? What obstacles did you encounter? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Attached are pics of before and after. My baby is hurt and I am really tick'd off!!!
Thanks for reading!
