before i transformed it in make sure there was no scrapes on it took images completely around inside like i did when i first obtained the vehicle so there's no dispute whatsoever so i returned it parked it back in the same spot whatever and after that i think a number of days later um i started driving my vehicle and also i said well i want my lessened value claim i claimed there was no reduced worth whatever i said the card the card is worth less now due to the fact that it was in the mishap just how can i just how did i not shed any type of value keeping that so they rejected it that's okay i'll locate i'll choose something up so what i did was i took the suv to the infinity car dealership i act as if i was gon na purchase a new one since that's one means they would certainly focus on me so i informed him that the cars and truck was an accident simply what took place to it and needed to um they repainted so what i did i took all the documentation from the vehicle body left it on the pole position so they might see it as well as they used me forty 2 thousand bucks for as a trading to a brand-new automobile i claimed all right great let me go residence and also believe concerning it i went across the street to carmax and i obtained them to praise the car as if i was going to sell in this way now carmax provided me forty four thousand forty 4 five somewhere because area for the automobile whatever so i was kind of amazed on that particular and also i informed the exact same thing about the accident i left the documentation on his pole position so they can see it so after that i return recall to progressive later on that day and also i emailed miss out on griffith um the agent and also whatever the the paper from carmax and the documents from the infinity car dealership and also it was a 2500 distinction whatever i stated that's what i want so then um the representative calls me back the next day and also stated well we'll provide you 1300 i don't desire 1300 i want 2500 to ensure that's the value and if you maintain waiting it'll probably be higher than that so i may request 3500 following week so it's either it gets on you so i stated fine well you understand because your agent had a dispute with me concerning what i was doing my 9 11 job whatever do you want me to you understand make a concern out of that so i suppose she much less than that was most likely like two o'clock afternoon concerning four o'clock she called me the representative called me and also stated they they authorized the 2500 case i said okay now i desire my loss of use because i told him i required a full-size suv he rejected to offer it to me understanding what i would need the automobile for for the project whatever therefore what i did was i mosted likely to business the 7 traveler vehicle was 59 dollars a day the jeep they offered me was like 39 bucks a day whatever so i desired the distinction in between times of one month that i kept the automobile so it ended up being 181 bucks so i said i want that too too so i 'd publish a duplicate of because i got um venture email me the settlement the the distinction as well as i forward the email to them to understand that i didn't simply think of this number this was the company that you make use of included the number so after that give me a 181 buck check as well as it gave me the look for the 2500 to make sure that's exactly how i had the ability to obtain my reduced value and also loss and also use insurance claim however to state that if i had 2 crucial factors i had a cam dash camera in my vehicle um this took place um in my state of maryland if you do not go to the medical facility when the ambulance appears the officer is not called for by legislation to create a report so if no report is your word versus the various other driver which is 50 50 after that you'll end up paying for your own damages and repair work by yourself vehicle currently if you recognize it was the other individual's fault whatever and also you have no dashboard cam when that ambulance gets it you need to be transported in order to trigger that policeman to create a record once he does that then they can show who was explore who was at mistake like the crash however if you have a dash electronic camera you do not need to do all that so i encourage you to obtain a reasonably good dash camera may set you back about 150 i have actually had for like 4 years before this this this event whatever and after that the other point because i did tape the conversation every interaction i had with modern and as a result of the agent making that disparaging claim and bad declarations to a project that i was servicing i had the ability to use that as utilize because they really did not desire me to put that out in the social media since it would make them look truly poor and after that i had the ability to find the ceo's individual or service email that was really essential also since whenever i connected with the representatives i connected with her so there was no confusion that she can claim that she really did not recognize anything concerning this event due to the fact that i maintained a paper trail with this so this is my tale about diminished value lost use with progressive automobile insurance and also i'm informing you every insurance coverage company they attempt not to pay as much that's that's their business of company so it's at your discernment to do your due diligence and also place in the job to make certain you obtain everything that you left out of the accident see to it you get your diminished worth loss of use if there's an accident um an instance behind it see to it you do your documentation keeping that too um because it's actually gon na aid you ultimately so this is my tale in washington hustle you individuals be risk-free around thanks.
