What Should I Do if My Motorcycle has been Repaired After an Accident but now isn’t Worth as Much?

If you were fortunate enough to salvage your motorcycle after an accident, it will never be worth the same amount of money as it would have been prior to the accident. With today’s technology, any consumer or motorcycle dealership can search a number of websites and discover exactly what repairs were made. What insurance companies don’t like to tell you is that you may be entitled to money for value lost. If your motorcycle has been in an accident and repaired, it is possible that you can file a Diminished Value (DV) claim.

What is Diminished Value?

Diminished value, or DV, refers to the lost value of a motorcycle that has been involved in an accident and subsequently repaired. In many cases, the damages to a motorcycle can be so severe that it cannot be sold as a “certified used motorcycle” and can reduce the sale value by as much as 40%. Find out today if your motorcycle has suffered diminished value. It is possible you are entitled to recoup for those losses.

What is a Diminished Value Claim?

A diminished value claim is simply a claim brought against an at-fault automobile insurance company for loss of value to a repaired motorcycle. You may be entitled to more than just the repairs on your bike.
