Wind storm damages cars at Mecum Auction

a real concern with these insurance claims is "diminuation of value..." As an example, you have an untouched, totally original (paint, exterior etc.) 70 Hemi Cuda. The value is obviously very high due to "untouched originality" now it got hit by a pole and has to be repaired, now it's no longer "untouched and totally original.." and the value is no longer what it was
Some carriers will consider this, and compensate, but a lot will not and just pay to fix the car as it was. This is where lawsuits pop up

Very true, and can get quite messy. Should this unfortunately happen to you or any other car matter where there’s a dispute look no farther than one of our advertisers here Bruce Shaw.
He has handled cases like this, and other car related disputes he is very good at what he does, also he is a car guy.
