Diminished Value is the term I have heard, most people don't know what it is or even that you can get it.

Basically it is a $ amount to compensate you for the change in value of the car AFTER the repair. Anybody that buys a car will ask if it has been wrecked and generally either walk away or want a lower price because of it. It isn't your fault your car was wrecked so you should be compensated for this change in value.

I got a coworker a check for ~$3k one time he wasn't expecting just for telling him to ask.

ty, I'm guessing that won't work in my case?
