Is diminished cost recognized in all states or just in Georgia and California as I keep been told?

Diminished value, in my opinion, is a very legit auto safeguard claim. I am one of a majority of persons reflected on surveys who wouldn’t purchase a car that had been wrecked unless I received a giant discount to compensate for the added risk and aggravation I would liable encounter. Some folks, I’ve found, don’t share my view. A few days ago my brother-in-law who is a retired insurance adjuster (someone who should know what he is talking abaway when it comes to auto insurance claims) says claims for diminished value are wrong and shouldn’t be brought against insurance companies. He says the premiums we pay for our insurance policies don’t take these losses into account. Please tell me he is wrong, and tell me which states accept diminished value claims so I can straighten out my insurance-biased brother-in-law.
