Filing a Diminished Value Claim in Arkansas: What You Need to Know
Arkansas Diminished Value Appraisal — Recover What Your Vehicle Lost After an Accident
Even after professional repairs, your vehicle can lose significant market value once its accident history appears on Carfax or AutoCheck. If your crash happened anywhere in Arkansas—including Little Rock, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Jonesboro—an Arkansas diminished value appraisal helps document that loss and support your claim for fair compensation. SnapClaim provides court-ready, data-driven appraisal reports trusted by Arkansas insurers, personal injury attorneys, and small-claims courts statewide.Does Arkansas Allow Diminished Value Claims?
Third-party (at-fault driver’s insurer)Yes. When another driver is at fault, diminished value is generally recoverable as part of property damage—i.e., the measurable difference between your vehicle’s pre-accident and post-repair market value when proven with credible appraisal evidence.
First-party (your own insurer)
Generally no, unless your policy specifically provides diminished value coverage. Most policies do not include it by default.
