Filing a Diminished Value Claim in Mississippi: What You Need to Know
Mississippi Diminished Value Appraisal — Recover What Your Vehicle Lost After an Accident
Even after quality repairs, your vehicle can lose market value once its accident history appears on Carfax or AutoCheck. If your crash happened anywhere in Mississippi—including Jackson, Gulfport, Southaven, Biloxi, and Hattiesburg—a Mississippi diminished value appraisal helps you document that loss and claim fair compensation. SnapClaim provides court-ready, data-driven appraisal reports trusted by Mississippi insurers, personal-injury attorneys, and small-claims courts statewide.Does Mississippi Allow Diminished Value Claims?
Third-party (at-fault driver’s insurer)Yes. Mississippi law allows vehicle owners to recover diminished value when another driver is at fault. Even after quality repairs, your car’s resale value can drop due to its accident history — and the at-fault insurer is responsible for that loss.
First-party (your own insurer)
Generally no, unless your policy specifically includes diminished value coverage. Most collision and comprehensive policies exclude it.
