Destruction to Property

Destruction to Property Commonly Stems from an Auto Accident

If someone else's negligence has caused damage or destruction of your property, you may be owed compensation for the replacement or repair of any property.

The most common destruction to property is the result of an auto accident. Injured parties can be compensated for the cost of repairs and loss of value to their car. But that's not all. Injured parties may also be compensated for:

• Damage to personal property outside of the vehicle. For instance, a drunk driver hit and damaged your house or your mailbox.
• Damage to property contained within the vehicle. For instance, your MP3 player, global positioning device and cell phone.
• Reimbursement for substitute transportation during the repair period.

How You Can Recover Damages After Destruction to Your Property

Flager & Yockey, P.C. can work with an appraiser to verify whether or not your property has been ruined or retains any salvage value whatsoever.

If your property cannot be repaired, you can pursue compensation for the fair market value of the item before the accident. If the property can be repaired, you may be owed money for the loss of the item's use as well as its repair.

There are other factors in determining the compensation owed, including interest and loss of profit, particularly if the property is used in your employment.
