Had an accident recently that required some front end body repair (no mechanical damage thankfully - car was completely drivable). The other driver was at fault. She has AAA insurance. Approx. $8000 damage for body repair and paint.
My Mustang is a 2015 Performance Pkg with Recaro seats. Car had a little over 3000 mi at time of accident.
I am thinking of filing a diminished value claim with AAA to offset the loss in market value of my car. I'm in California which has no insurance regulations that cover diminished value claims. A Google search on the topic reveals that there are only two States in the U.S. that do have such regulations. AAA is stonewalling my request for fair market restitution, so I am on my own; its either get a lawyer (there are some in L.A. that advertise in this area of law) or go to Small Claims Court.
Has anyone had experience in filing this kind of claim, and any tips or advice?
