Or how to proceed in getting what i lost.Her insurance says we accepted liability for this loss.Or how i can find out the laws on this in PA.Thanks

Answer
Sam,
Thank you for your question.

There's no doubt your vehicle will lose value and yes, you can seek recovery from the at-fault party. The loss depends upon several factors including the pre-loss condition and value, the nature of damages and if frame and/or structural damages were sustained and how well the repairs were performed and the vehicle restored.

We can assist you in either ascertaining your loss in value or referring you to an Expert in your area. Visit our website @ www.AutoDamageExperts.com or feel free to contact me @ Barrett@AutoDamageExperts.com
