Diminished Value and Loss-Of-Use Claim for Car

[97C5ENVY]

I was involved in an accident (in Texas) a few weeks ago with an UM who was At-Fault. I have UM/UIM coverage, and to which a claim for repairing my car has been made to the tune of $4200. I have 3 vehicles and therefore don't need a Rent-a-Car......however can i still file a claim for Loss-Of-Use on the car that's being repaired under a UM claim? Also can i file a claim for Diminished Value on the car that was damaged? If so on either account how can i go about doing this and what do i need?

Thanks!

You can make any claim you wish, with your insurance company. What you are entitled to receive will depend upon the terms of your insurance policy. The policy will also describe how to make a claim, but it sounds like you already have made a claim so you may wish to talk to your adjuster. Presumably the worst that would happen if you make a claim is that they will deny it.
