Common Questions About Diminished Value in Arizona
What is diminished value and does it apply in Arizona?
Diminished value is the loss in market value that a vehicle suffers after being involved in an accident, even after it has been fully repaired. In Arizona, diminished value is recognized and recoverable. Arizona has strong consumer protection laws that support diminished value claims. As a pure comparative negligence state, you can recover diminished value even if you share some fault in the accident.
How long do I have to file a diminished value claim in Arizona?
The statute of limitations for property damage claims in Arizona is 2 years from the date of the accident. It is important to start the process as soon as your vehicle repairs are complete to preserve your rights and maximize your recovery.
Do I need a professional appraisal for my diminished value claim?
While not legally required, a certified diminished value appraisal from an independent appraiser is the single most important piece of evidence in a DV claim. Insurance companies routinely deny or lowball claims that are not supported by professional documentation. Our certified reports are based on actual comparable market data and are designed to withstand insurer scrutiny.
