What is the name of your state? MD
I purchased a new car this past Saturday and I rear ended a truck less then 24 hours later. The damage on the truck was less then $1,000.00. The damage to my car is in excess of $10,000.00. I was at the dealership getting items out of my car and joked about trading it in when the salesperson told me they would have to get a price from a wholesaler because of the damage and informed me that I would take quite a loss. Am I entitled to diminished value even if I was at fault? The crash was not caused by any traffic laws being broken.
Thanks in advance!
