The insurance claim appraisal process is used to resolve disputes between policyholders and insurers over the value of a loss. When both parties cannot agree on the claim amount, each selects an independent appraiser to assess the damage. These appraisers evaluate the property, review evidence, and estimate the cost of repairs or replacement. If they cannot reach an agreement, a neutral umpire is appointed to make the final decision. This structured approach ensures a fair and unbiased outcome without going to court. Understanding the insurance claim appraisal process helps policyholders navigate disputes efficiently and increases the chances of receiving a reasonable and timely settlement.
