Jenkintown, Plymouth Meeting, & Philadelphia Property Damage Claims Attorney
Property damage claims arise when property is damaged due to another's negligence or wrongdoing. Property damage claims go by any number of names, such as diminished value (DV), loss of property or diminution of value. With the popularity of websites such as Carfax.com and Autotrader.com, property damage claims apply increasingly to vehicles, but any damaged piece of real estate or personal property may be subject to a property damage claim.

We represent clients in all types of damage claims whether the claim is only for diminished value or if it also includes claims for personal injuries. Protect your investment and contact our office to discuss your situation.

If you were in a car accident and your car was repaired, you may think that your car is worth the same as it was prior to the accident. This is not correct. A car that is the same make, model and year that has not been damaged in an accident will have a higher resale value than your car. You are entitled to recover for the lost value of your property.
An example of our representation: We represented a client who had purchased an automobile for $89,000. The automobile was damaged in the repair shop, and although the damages were repaired, the automobile lost $24,000 in resale value. Although the insurance company refused to pay for the loss of value, our client won a judgment in court against the repair shop and its insurer.
The statute of limitations on property damage claims is two years from the accident. The sooner you speak to a lawyer, the sooner you will know if you have a viable property damage claim.
