Destruction to Property
An Auto Accident Typically Results in DESTRUCTION TO PROPERTY
In the blink of an eye, your world can change when someone is negligent. Even if you are lucky enough not to suffer any injuries, you may still suffer financially. Your car may be seriously damaged. Property destruction can be costly. If negligence by someone has caused damage or destruction to property, you may be due compensation to cover the replacement or repair of any property. Call or email Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. for a consultation.
Property destruction typically involves cars, trucks and motorcycles in auto accidents. Injured parties can be compensated for the costs of repair and loss of value to the car, but also:
- Damage to personal property outside of the vehicle. For instance, a driver under the influence hit and damaged your house or your mailbox.
- Damage within the car, such as an MP3 player, global positioning device and cell phone.
- Reimbursement for substitute transportation during the repair period.
How You Can Recover Damages after Destruction to Your Property
A lawyer at Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. can work with an appraiser to verify whether or not the property has been ruined or retains any salvage value whatsoever.
If your property cannot be repaired, we can help you pursue compensation for the fair market value of the item before the accident. If the property can be repaired, you may be owed money for the loss of the item's use as well as its repair.
The insurance company may try to low-ball you on the cost to repair your car. It's important to have a skilled attorney who can deal with the insurance company representatives for you.
There are other factors in determining the compensation owed, including interest and loss of profit, particularly if the property is used in your employment.
