Diminished value payment

Have you already settled your property damage claim and signed a release?

The claim may still be available, but compare it's value to the cost of litigation.

I thought you had a year to make the claim.

I'm made a DV claim before, but it was during the repair process. I wasn't thrilled about the number, but didn't want to fight too much since I had little to go off of. It was never mentioned and I had to ask for it.

I had reasonable success with it recently, wife's car had gotten rear ended twice within 45 days, both of the other drivers had state farm, the vehicle was fixed each time, shortly after, we traded it in, it obviously had carfax dings so they deducted 1200 on the trade in price, I called state farm, explained what was going on, they transferred me to the diminished value department, the guy was very easy to deal with, asked what I thought was fair and I said 1200...he agreed and a week later i got 2 600 checks......makes me think they would of gone higher????

I'm hoping it goes that easy, I'm gonna give my agent a call in a few to sort through it
