Answers to your Virginia property damage claim questions

Motor vehicles are one of the fastest depreciating assets that you will ever own. Property damage claims can therefore be very frustrating. To make things just a little easier for you, we have compiled some of the top questions we hear and the corresponding answers.

• What can I recover for my property damage claim? You may be able to recover the reasonable repair cost of your vehicle, as well as the diminution of value that resulted when your car was involved in the accident.
• What if the cost to repair the vehicle is more than what the car is worth? In this instance, you will need to surrender the title to the insurance company that is paying you the value of your car. You will then need to purchase a new vehicle.
• Do I need a Fairfax car accident lawyer? Hiring a lawyer for a property damage claim can be costly and might not be worth it. However, if you were badly injured in the crash, an attorney might be just what you need.
