The appraisal process is typically outlined in the insurance policy’s appraisal clause.
What is an insurance appraisal?
When there is a dispute between the insurer and the insured regarding the value of a claim, appraisal can help resolve the disagreement through an independent assessment.
Who can be an appraiser?
The policyholder and the insurance carrier each select an impartial appraiser.
How many appraisers are needed?
Two appraisers are selected, one by each party involved in the claim.
What is an insurance umpire?
The two appraisers select a third neutral party known as the umpire. Together they form the appraisal panel.
How is the claim amount decided?
When any two members of the appraisal panel agree on the amount of the loss, that value becomes binding.
