The other insurance company has admitted total blame and 100% liability. It may take time but i will get the payment for my loss.
Here's the thing, insurance companies and courts are starting not to award diminished value until the car is sold and then will award the amount of diminished value at the time of the sale. Some will actually give you a time limit on saleing your car after you get it back or you're not able to file for it. For example state farm won't award it unless you sale or trade the car within 30 days of getting it back after the accident.
