On this episode of When Accidents Happen, we join our hosts Paige Pahlke and Jim Puritz, attorneys at Brown Moore and Associates, to talk about property damage claims in automobile accident cases.

In this episode, we give an overview of how a property damage claim works. We start with the basics of who is involved in a property damage claim and then move on to discussing getting estimates and obtaining a rental vehicle. Then we reveal how to value a vehicle with property damage and provide information for pursuing a diminished value claim.
