Have to assume you are making a claim against an at fault insurance carrier. You can't make a DV claim against your own insurance company under collision coverage.
Doubt you can find an attorney to handle a DV claim on a contingency fee basis. The ambulance chaser crowd, (Morgan, Newlin) wouldn't bother with this type of claim. So you would be stuck with an hourly fee, if anybody would take it.
If your car was properly repaired, any DV would be minimal.
Why just assume the insurance company will low ball you? You have nothing to lose by pursuing a claim on your own and negotiating a reasonable solution. Call the carrier and start the process.
