Estimated Diminished Value

What This Means

Based on your vehicle's actual cash value and the severity of damage, this is the estimated range of value your vehicle permanently lost — even after a perfect repair. This loss is called inherent diminished value, and in Indiana, it's recoverable from the at-fault driver's insurance company.
