What kind of evidence do I need for a diminished value claim? To file a diminished value claim, you will need to provide evidence of the diminished value to your insurance company. There are a few different ways to do this. One way is to get an estimate from a body shop of what it would cost to repair your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.

You can also obtain a diminished value report from a company that specializes in this type of estimate. This report will take into account the make, model, and year of your vehicle as well as the severity of the accident to arrive at a diminished value estimate. By having this information, you will be able to file a successful claim and receive the compensation you deserve.
