This book was written to provide sufficient information to those who became interested in the issue since the Georgia Supreme Court decided State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Mabry, 274 Ga. 498, 556 S.E.2d 114 (Ga. 11/28/2001) and includes cases dealing with the use of diminution in value as a method of determining the amount of loss incurred by a plaintiff seeking indemnity for damage to real or personal property. Because confusion has reigned across the United States concerning the proper measure of damages for property damage to property that has been repaired, Diminution in Value Damages assists the reader in answering the questions concerning the proper measure of damage in each of the fifty United States and federal United States jurisdictions. This edition has been totally rewritten and expanded, providing the most extensive and detailed coverage of the issue and a thorough explanation of how to apply diminution in value damages to losses to property.
