Insurance Appraisals & Estimating
ACE Consulting Services
APPRAISALS
Appraisals are an option dictated in your insurance policy as a way to settle disputes on the value of your claim. The appraisal process is spelled out clearly in your insurance documents and should be completed before any litigation occurs. Each disputing side picks an independent appraiser and they try to reach agreement. If they cannot, they then need to choose an umpire that is acceptable to both parties. The umpire will then determine the outcome.
