Hello Mark, Petro with the Petro law firm today I would like to talk about

Property damage to your vehicle if your vehicle's been damaged in an automobile accident, right? Hey every case is different

so if you

Have a property damage question the phone today and give me a call and I'll be glad to discuss that with you for free

But in Alabama if you have you been involved in automobile accident

And your car is damaged and it can't be repaired. It can't be repaired

Then you are entitled to the reasonable cost of repair if your car has suffered substantial damage, but yet it is still

Repairable you would also be entitled to compensation for diminished value

And of course while your car is in the shop, you're entitled to talk to the car rental coverage payment

Reimbursement that will be paid to the rental car company

by the at-fault drivers insurance

if your car is totaled

Then you're entitled to the fair market value of the car immediately before the accident

I'm often asked the question

hey, they got a call from the insurance company and they said that my car is totaled and that they're going to write me a

check for

$10,000 but I owe the finance company

$15,000. Why won't the insurance company paid me 15 bills and I have to tell them the truth that under the law

they're only entitled to

The fair market value of the car immediately before the accident

So one thing that you can do is if you have gap insurance with defining this insurance company that would pay the difference

but that's a summary of

property damage walls in Alabama if you sustained damage to your

automobile in a car accident case so

Feel free to pick up the phone today and give me a call to discuss any specific

Question you might have regarding your property
