Car Accident Property Damages
claims attorney

After a car accident, most people just want one thing first—to get their vehicle repaired and their life back on track. But insurance companies often delay, underpay, or dispute property damage claims, leaving you stuck without answers.

At Jessica Corley Law Firm, we help clients navigate property damage issues from the very beginning, including vehicle repair disputes, diminished value claims, loss of use, and total loss negotiations. We work to make sure you are not taken advantage of by the insurance company.

What many people don’t realize is that problems with your car are often just the beginning. If you were injured in the accident, your case may be worth significantly more than what the insurance company is offering.

We can help clients with both claims—getting your car fixed and protecting any potential injury claim—so nothing is missed and your case is positioned correctly from day one.

What Property Damages Are you Entitled To After a Car Accident?

After a car accident, you may be entitled to more than just the cost to repair your vehicle. Insurance companies often limit their payments to the most obvious expenses—but South Carolina law allows recovery for several types of property-related damages.

Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to:

Vehicle Repair or Total Loss Value

You are entitled to have your vehicle repaired to its pre-accident condition, or to receive fair market value if your vehicle is declared a total loss.

Diminished Value

Even after repairs, your vehicle may be worth less simply because it has been in an accident. You may be entitled to compensation for this loss in value.

Loss of Use

If you are without your vehicle while it is being repaired or replaced, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of use—regardless of whether you rented a replacement vehicle.

Towing, Storage, and Related Expenses

Costs related to towing, storage, and other necessary expenses caused by the accident may also be recoverable.

Why This Matters

Insurance companies often focus only on repair costs, but that is only one part of your claim. Many people are not told they can recover for diminished value or loss of use, which can significantly impact the total amount they receive.
