How much is my diminished value claim worth?

This report gives a baseline: the pre-loss value times a damage severity multiplier and a mileage penalty, with comparable evidence; for a figure built from comparables you choose, use the Diminished Value Worksheet.

How is diminished value calculated?

Pre-loss value comes from the MarketCheck Price model, and the diminished value is that figure times a damage severity multiplier and a mileage penalty, a 17c-modified calculation. Market resistance and history visibility are shown for context and do not change the figure. Comparable evidence is attached.

Is this a state-specific 17c claim?

No. It returns a comparable-based diminished value figure as a claim baseline. For court-defensible numbers in states such as Georgia or Mississippi, supplement it with a certified diminished value appraiser or run the Diminished Value Worksheet, where an appraiser picks the comparables.

The VIN, the current mileage, the accident date and the damage severity (minor, moderate or severe). Documented repair cost, state and ZIP add context.

Yes. The mileage penalty reduces the figure as miles climb, and formula-based methods yield very little on high-mileage vehicles. The report shows the factors it applied so you can see why.
