The Insurance Appraisal Process

Either the policyholder or the insurance company initiates the appraisal process by formally requesting it. This usually happens when there is a disagreement over the amount of a claim, such as property damage or loss valuation.

Both parties select an independent and impartial appraiser. These appraisers are responsible for evaluating the disputed aspects of the claim.

Each appraiser reviews the claim details, gathers evidence and conducts assessments to determine their perspective on the value of the loss or damage.

The two appraisers communicate and work together to try to reach an agreement on the value of the claim. This step involves presenting evidence, discussing differences and attempting to find common ground.

If the appraisers cannot agree on a resolution, they jointly select an impartial umpire. The umpire is usually called upon as a last resort to break the deadlock and make a final decision.

If an umpire is involved, they review the evidence presented by both appraisers and make a final determination on the value of the claim. This decision is binding and ends the appraisal process.

Once an agreement is reached between the appraisers or a decision is made by the umpire, the determined value becomes the basis for settling the claim. The insurance company pays the policyholder according to this value.

The appraisal process concludes with the settlement of the claim based on the agreed-upon value or the umpire's decision, if necessary. Both parties generally agree to accept the outcome as final, and the dispute is resolved without resorting to traditional litigation. The Insurance Appraisal ADR process is designed to provide a quicker and less adversarial means of settling claim disputes, offering a more efficient alternative to court proceedings.
