I'm looking for Florida Statutes that reference Diminished Value for auto claims. A third party Insurer I'm dealing with claims that their Property Damage does not pay for DV as it's not a physical damage.
Answer
I am not aware of any Florida Statute directly on point. Entitlement to diminished value from the third-party af-fault is established in Florida caselaw. See, e.g., Siegle v. Progressive, 819 So. 2nd 732 (Fla. Sup. Ct. , 2002).
Answer
It is not a statutory issue. It is a contractual obligation. Mr. Burns give you the authority that you should provide to the adjuster. Remember you will need expert testimony on the diminished value of the car.
