What’s the Value of My Car After a Car Accident? After a car accident, the car’s value will decrease even if it was professionally repaired and restored to its original condition.

Every state has its own system for determining liability for compensating victims of car accidents. The state of Texas has a modified comparative fault system for car accident claims. This means you can receive compensation for losses caused by the accident even if you were partly at fault for the crash.

Typically, the at-fault driver’s insurer compensates the accident victim. Identifying the… Read More
