FROM DISAGREEMENT TO A REVIEWABLE SCOPE
Built around the amount of loss.
Appraisal usually addresses the amount of a covered loss, subject to the policy and applicable requirements. It is not automatically the right process for every dispute.
Commercial appraisals
Retail, offices, multifamily, hospitality, churches and other commercial or institutional properties.
Detailed estimating
Room-by-room and trade-by-trade scope with quantities, materials and repair operations tied to available evidence.
Estimate reconciliation
Compare the competing positions and isolate the items that drive the amount-of-loss disagreement.
Appraiser coordination
Communicate professionally with the other appraiser and, when required, the umpire under the applicable process.
Supported claim types
Wind, hail, roof, water, plumbing, fire, smoke, theft and other property losses when the dispute is suitable for appraisal.
Appraisal is specific to the policy and dispute.
Coverage disputes, policy interpretation and legal issues may fall outside the appraisal process. Availability, selection standards and the appraiser’s role depend on the policy, jurisdiction and facts. Obtain legal advice from qualified counsel when needed.
