Understanding Commercial Insurance Appraisal
Commercial property appraisal is a dispute-resolution process that may be available when a business owner and insurance company disagree over the amount of a covered property loss.
Each party typically appoints an appraiser to evaluate the disputed amount. If they cannot reach an agreement, an impartial umpire may become involved under the policy’s terms.
Our role is to carefully assess the disputed damage, examine repair estimates, and develop a well-supported valuation to help establish the amount of loss.
