Description

Diminution in Value Damages: How to Determine the Proper Measure of Damage to Real and Personal Property Barry Zalma ISBN 9781634252959

Diminution of value refers to the reduction in a property’s financial worth resulting from damage, even after repairs have been completed. This book offers extensive, in-depth analysis to help readers identify the proper measure of damages in the applicable jurisdiction and effectively apply diminution of value principles to losses involving real or personal property.

Written in response to heightened interest following the Georgia Supreme Court’s decision in State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Mabry, 274 Ga. 498, 556 S.E.2d 114 (2001), this resource examines key cases addressing diminution of value as a method for determining the amount of loss suffered by a plaintiff seeking indemnification for property damage.

Given the widespread uncertainty across the United States regarding the appropriate measure of damages for repaired property, Diminution in Value Damages serves as a practical guide for resolving these issues. It assists readers in understanding and applying the governing standards in all fifty states and the federal jurisdictions, bringing clarity to an often confusing and inconsistently applied area of law.
