What is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for insurance claims?
“Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a faster, more cost-effective way to resolve insurance claim disputes without going to court. The insurance appraisal process is a form of ADR where both parties select independent appraisers to determine the fair value of your claim.”
View in the company profileWhat should I do if my insurance company denied my claim or offered a low settlement?
“If your insurance company denied your claim or offered a settlement lower than the damage warrants, you have options beyond hiring an expensive attorney. First, document everything with photos and contractor estimates.”
View in the company profileHow much does appraisal cost compared to hiring an attorney?
“Insurance appraisal is significantly more cost-effective than hiring an attorney and going to court. Appraisal typically costs $1,000-$5,000 (you pay your appraiser, split the umpire fee), while hiring an attorney for litigation can cost $20,000-$50,000+ in legal fees.”
View in the company profileWhen is appraisal better than hiring a public adjuster?
“Appraisal is often better than a public adjuster when coverage has already been opened up by your insurance company - meaning they've agreed to pay the claim but you disagree on the amount. Public adjusters typically charge 10-20% of your settlement and work best during initial claim negotiation.”
