Insurance Appraisals
Many policyholders feel that they are forced to take whatever settlement the insurance company decides on, whether or not the policyholder agrees with the amount. Luckily, that is not the case.
Gavnat Public Insurance Adjusters offers appraisal services for claim disputes in all state we serve – giving you the advocate you need to reach the settlement you’re entitled to. Though insurance companies rarely make it known that policyholders have a right to dispute said amount, that right still exists, and we’re here to help you exercise it.
What is an Insurance Appraisal?
When a property damage claim is disputed, policyholders and insurance companies don’t always agree on the scope of damage or the cost of repairs. That’s where the appraisal process comes in.
An appraisal is a policyholder’s contractual right to resolve claim disputes without going to court. Both sides — you and your insurance company — select an independent appraiser. Those appraisers then work together to reach a fair settlement. If they disagree, an umpire makes the final decision.
The appraisal process is designed to break through disputes and ensure you receive a settlement that reflects the true cost of restoring your property.
