What Is Diminishment of Value?
If you have been involved in an automobile accident which was not your fault, you are entitled to a diminished value (also called DOV/D.O.V. or diminishment of value) settlement from the at-fault party's insurance provider. You qualify for a diminished value settlement if the damage to your vehicle was $1,000 or more and the age of your vehicle must be model year 2019 or newer (vehicle 5 years old or newer, some exceptions apply based on vehicle value). The amount of your settlement is dependent upon the age, value and accident history of your vehicle as well as the extent of damage

Richard was a great help in assisting us with our total loss claim with our own insurance company. Not only did he get us fair market value but he was a pleasure to deal with, extremely helpful, extensively knowledgeable, and couldn't have been more responsive. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
