In law, under what circumstances can you sue and get the CURRENT price of the item bought NEW (i.e., how much it would cost to replace the item if you bought it today) and under what circumstances will you get the DEPRECIATED value for the item?

In most of the “judge” shows I see, the plaintiff only gets the depreciated value of the item that’s damaged. Does he ever get the replacement value of the item if he were to buy it TODAY (brand new)?
