Personal Injury FAQ
Car Repair Questions

Can I control whether my car is repaired or replaced?
How is the market value of my car determined?
What if I am "upside down" on the loan for my car?
Can I choose my own repair shop?
What kind of parts will be used in the repair?
What if my car already had some damage before the accident?
Will I have to pay the towing and storage costs?
What about license and registration fees that I had to pay to drive the car?

 

How is the market value of my car determined?
You are entitled to recover the "fair market value" or the "actual cash value" of your vehicle immediately before the accident. One common source used to estimate fair market value is the Kelley Blue Book. Other sources of information are the local newspaper or the Auto Trader, which may list the for-sale price of cars of the same make, model, and year as yours. Occasionally, an expert vehicle appraiser is used to help prove the value of your vehicle.
