Does Virginia Allow Diminished Value Claims?

Yes. The diminished value of your vehicle is recoverable in the state of Virginia in third party cases and under your own policy’s Uninsured Motorist Coverage.

Is it mandatory for motorists to carry liability insurance in Virginia?

Virginia has a Financial Responsibility Law that requires all registered vehicles carry a minimum amount of liability coverage on their auto insurance. The minimum amounts of coverage needed are $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 for bodily injury per accident, and $20,000 for property damage per accident. Virginia does allow a motor vehicle owner to register an uninsured motor vehicle by paying a Virginia Uninsured Motor Vehicle fee of $500 in addition to normal registration fees but in the case of a car accident, the uninsured motorist will be responsible to pay all the expenses and charges.
