So Dan's attorney appealed, and we didn't get paid our diminished value claim yet. The appeal went from the District Justice to the trial court. In other states the District Justice would be referred to a small claims court, District Magistrate or a people's court. They are courts that deal with claims involving relatively small amounts of money.

In this case, Vic was struck by a vehicle owned by Carmella and driven by Dan. For the sake of simplicity, let’s assume that it was not Vic’s fault in any way.

Obviously, the claimant has to back up his claim with something, but once the report is submitted to the insurance company, it sets the ceiling for the negotiations that will occur. If the do-it-yourselfer takes the first diminished value report he gets and gives it to the insurance company there's no chance of demanding more than that.

Vic has a number of questions to answer for his claim. But the first step, which is where most people start, is to research the claim on line.

Unfortunately he made the same two most common mistakes most do-it-yourself claimants make.
