Destruction to Property: You May Be Owed Compensation Due to Someone's Negligence

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

Typically destruction to property occurs as a result of an auto accident. Injured parties can be compensated for the costs of repair and loss of value to the car, but also:

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

How an Attorney Can Help You Recover Damages After Destruction to Property

The Law Offices of Jeff Martin can work with an appraiser to pursue a property damage claim and verify whether or not the 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.
