Destruction of Property

When Your Possessions Have Been Damaged

When you've been victim to someone else's negligence, you may be owed compensation for the replacement or repair of any property.

This is most common as a result of an auto accident. Compensation can be collected for the costs of repair and loss of value to the car, but also:

• Damage to property contained within the car (such as your MP3 player, global positioning device and cell phone)
• Damage to personal property outside of the car (e.g., a drunk driver hit and damaged your house or other building or your mail box)
• Reimbursement for obtaining substitute transportation during the repair period

Castle Law Office will work with a professional appraiser to verify whether or not the property has been totally ruined or retains any salvage value whatsoever.

If the property cannot be fixed and is now useless, you can ask for compensation for the fair market value of the item before the accident. If your property can be fixed, you may be owed money for the loss of the item's use as well as its repair.

Interest and loss of profit, particularly in those instances in which the property is used in one's employment, may also be factored into the decision about compensation owed.
