What is an Insurance Claim Appraiser?
An insurance claim appraiser conducts evaluations and investigations to determine the true value of a loss. Often appointed by a policyholder or insurer, the insurance appraiser is responsible for ascertaining an asset’s replacement cost or actual cash value without bias, not even toward the party that employs them. In the event of a dispute, both the insurer and the policyholder will procure the services of their respective appraisers, and those appraisers will conduct their own assessment of the circumstances and conditions to determine the property’s value. If the two appraisers fail to resolve the dispute in a timely manner, they will jointly select an umpire who is another impartial party with the ability to assess an asset’s value. In many instances, the umpire’s valuation of the asset is binding if one of the two disagreeing parties accepts their appraisal. However, the umpire’s appraisal is not binding in all jurisdictions.
