Car accident question.

[Doctor Zoidburg]

Last May a jerk went through an intersection on a red light hit a car that had the green light then smashed into my car. The insurance company repaired everything, now I discover that the car is diminished in value by $4000 because I have to declare that it has been in an accident.
Can I sue the rat for diminishing the value of my car, do I have to be selling the car to claim this diminished value?

OUch!! Sorry to hear that. I had a similar experience about 2yrs ago. I had my new Saleen out on the road for May 24 weekend and a lady ran a red light and t-boned me in the middle of the intersection. The car was instantly written off. Not to mention I was in the hospital for a couple of days. My back was screwed up, until this day it still act up.

Good luck bud, but no matter what the accident was filed with the M.O.T and whoever decided to buy the car later on and they do a check on the history of the car, it will be flagged in their computers and the potential buyers will see it on the report.
