Need advice on diminished value Long story short, my wife was hit by an a$$hole that had no insurance and we had to use our uninsured motorist coverage. Allstate offered us diminished value, but said we needed to go to a dealership and get an appraisal ? Any suggestions on how to go about doing this ? The vehicle is a Buick Rendezvous.
Thanks in advance,
Ernie

I didn't think TX insurance co. paid diminished value anymore.
"The Texas Supreme Court correctly ruled that the contract language is clear-cut and does not require the payment for diminished value when a vehicle has been fully and adequately repaired," said Donald Hanson, southwestern regional manager for the National Association of Independent Insurers (NAII).

but would you explain something? The ******* with no insurance hits your wife. Your wife obviously has full coverage, but that doesnt cover her car?You have to use your "uninsured motorist" insurance? I ask cause I turned that portion of my policydown. But if I ever get in a wreck I would bet the person wouldn't have insurance.

Find a deminised value appaiser. No matter how well a car is fixed you will lose value simply for the fact the general public have been scared in thinking a wrecked car can neven be made right.

Never be without unisured motorist. Its cheap and too many ******** without coverage out there.
