Diminished Value In Oregon

Gonzales, et al., v. Farmers Insurance Co., et al.
(Multnomah Circuit Case No. 9910-11479)

In December 2006, Daniel J. Gatti and co-counsel secured a favorable decision by the Oregon Court of Appeals which found that insurance policies issued by Farmers Insurance do not preclude Farmers-insureds from collecting monies for diminished value to their vehicles following a car accident. Plaintiffs have argued that when a car is damaged in a wreck, even if it is properly repaired, there is inherent diminishment in value to that vehicle, and Farmers-insureds should be compensated for this loss. Following the Court of Appeals decision, the case shall be remanded to Multnomah Circuit Court where plaintiffs will seek class certification for all Farmers-insureds in Oregon who suffered a diminishment in value to their vehicles from 1993 to present.
