The elements of damage to plaintiff’s property are:
[either]
1. The reasonable cost of necessary repairs to the damaged property, plus the difference between its fair market value before it was damaged and its fair market value after repairs.
[or]
1. The difference between the fair market value of the property immediately before the occurrence, and its [salvage value] [fair market value without repairs] after the occurrence.
[and, if applicable]
2. (Any incidental or consequential damage suffered by the plaintiff that is within the foreseeable chain of proximate causation: e.g., “The reasonable rental charges incurred by the plaintiff for substitute property during the time the subject property was being repaired.”)
