Car Accident Victim Learned An Insurance Hack That Got Him Back $5,000 After A Wreck
by Chris Allen
Car wrecks…ugh.
Talk about a way to just completely upend like an entire half of your year.
If you’re lucky you’ve walked away from a minor one, no bodily injury to you or the other car’s passengers.
Because you’re going to then have to deal with insurance.
One guy on TikTok named Trevor was in a wreck, but he had some wisdom to impart.
He explains his wreck, and what went on with his insurance.
Nice setup.
“So when I got into a wreck, it was my fault, but my insurance still paid for it because I have full coverage.”
But it’s when his car got fixed that he learned something very interesting.
He explains that his 2016 Dodge Charger was worth $22k before the wreck.
And it’s now worth around $15k.
The guy told him, “Don’t forget to call your insurance and ask for a depreciation value.”
Camera: ZOOM.
He goes on to explain that if you have full coverage, and your car loses value because of the wreck,
“You can call your insurance and get a check for the amount of value that was lost in the wreck!”

Now let’s see how folks reacted to this glorious news.
Oh look an insurance agent was here to drop a wet blanket all over this parade.
One commenter was here for all the jokes.
While people just hate car insurance in general.
Can’t blame em.
Be safe out there, fam!
