On November 28, 2001, the Georgia Supreme Court made a decision regarding automobile diminished value in Georgia. In short, the court’s decision made it the law that all insurance companies doing business in Georgia must assess and pay for any loss in market value for vehicles damaged in a wreck and repaired, as part of the damages of the claim.
