No knowledge of the law firm. Did the insurer deny a diminished value claim? If so, have you exhausted all remedies before lawyering up? I take it that this is on a C5 Corvette, so did you try the state insurance department, etc?

Diminished value is becoming a pretty well accepted claim for autos, given the use of CarFax reports that show damage, etc.

DIMINISHED VALUE = what the difference in value of a repaired car is compared to a similar car that wasn't damaged and repaired.
As an example if a rear quarter panel on a 2002 is crushed and then repaired that car is probably worth less after repairs than one in similar condition that was never damaged.
I'm not sure this is your situation
