Diminished Value of Georgia sponsors the Georgia Bar Association’s 2017 Annual Meeting

Atlanta’s number one car appraisal company will sponsor and present an exhibit at the State Bar of Georgia Annual meeting at Jekyll Island, GA. 

Diminished Value of Georgia is a company whose mission is to help car accident victims recover financially by providing the necessary documents to file a diminished value insurance claim. Diminished value is defined as the measured loss in value that a vehicle incurs after an accident or other incident (such as fire or flood). An insurance company is required by law to reimburse the insured party for the actual amount of loss in the value of the vehicle as a result of the damage. The best way to determine the diminished value of a vehicle is to hire a reputable independent appraiser to assess the DV of the vehicle.
