It is the responsibility of the insurance company to "make you whole" the instant before the accident. Lets say that your truck was worth $20,000 before the accident. After repairs, the resale value of your car would be lower (for example, $18,000) because your car has been in an accident. The insurance company should pay you that $2,000 that you can no longer receive should you attempt to sell your car.

You probably have a valid claim here. Whether or not the dollar amount will be worth the hassle is probably something you should ask an attorney about.
