Does Oregon Allow Diminished Value Claims?

Generally no, unless your insurance policy explicitly provides diminished value coverage.

“After my car was hit on a rainy morning in Portland, I thought the body shop had made it as good as new. But when I went to trade it in, I discovered the accident had quietly shaved thousands off its value. SnapClaim’s Oregon diminished value appraisal uncovered the real loss with solid local data. I used their report, and the insurance company paid the difference within days.”
