Nevada Pattern Jury Instruction 10.09 tells a jury how to award damages in a case of diminished value. The court instructs the jury that if repairs don't fully restore the value of the damaged property, the jury should award the victim the difference between fair market value and the value post repair.

In Nevada, you can file a claim for diminished value as a third-party claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company. An accident/damage history can reduce the value of your vehicle because the average buyer will almost always prefer a vehicle without an accident as opposed to one with a damage history.
