Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about insurance appraisal or resolving a claim dispute? Here are answers to the most common concerns
An insurance appraisal is a policy-defined process used to resolve disputes when you and your insurance company cannot agree on the value of a covered property loss. Each party selects an appraiser, and if necessary, an impartial umpire helps reach a binding decision.
You should consider an appraisal when you disagree with your insurer's estimate or settlement offer for covered property damage. It is often the best option after negotiations have stalled.
In most cases, yes. Once the appraisal process is complete, the agreed-upon value of the loss is binding on both parties, as outlined in your insurance policy.
Insurance appraisal can apply to many residential and commercial property claims, including fire, water, wind, hail, storm, smoke, and other covered property damage where the dispute is over the amount of the loss.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the claim, but most appraisals are resolved much faster than litigation, often within a few weeks to a few months.
