New York - 2020 Tesla Model Y - No Damage - Inherent Diminished Value claim Denied
Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2020 1:47 am
Hello,
We had a hit and run on our car, Telsa Model Y, 6000 miles while the car was parked without us in it. Minimal impact.
We filed a police report and contacted our insurance on advice from our family (it's the first accident we've ever experienced). We took our car to get checked out in case there was any unseen damage, which there isn't. But we now have the accident reported on our CarMax. We filed a claim with the at-fault driver's insurance but it was denied.
I found a website that deals with Diminished Value Reports for Teslas, but it costs $350. Is it worth getting the report and filing a complaint regarding the claim being denied? Or, as there was no damage, were they correct to deny the claim or not worth the $350.
Thanks for the advice!
