When your high-value vehicle is damaged in a car accident that isn’t your fault, you have a diminished value (DV) claim. The hard part can be finding a lawyer to take on your case.

If you are Virginia driver involved in a crash that caused personal injury (PI), you will have a choice of firms to handle your PI claim. Unfortunately, few will handle the diminished value (DV) claim for your car.

While a Google search will turn up several law firms that will take on PI cases, I have heard from my clients that those same firms will not take on a DV claim.

Why is it so hard to find a lawyer in Virginia for a Diminished Value claim? There are not many Virginia lawyers who are comfortable with DV cases. One DV expert reports that there are only two law firms licensed to handle these cases in Virginia.

If you have a case, you need to get informed advice quickly, so you take the proper steps to establish a claim. The good news is that John Thyden at Thyden Gross and Callhan focuses his practice on DV claims. We will represent you even if there was no personal injury involved. Give him a call today!
