The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers claim dispute resolution services that help policyholders receive fair valuations for their assets. The insurance claims process can be incredibly complicated and frustrating for both the insurer and policyholder. This is especially true if the process concludes with an unsatisfactory valuation of an asset. Fortunately, our services can help insurance providers present data and evidence that determines the true value of lost and damaged property.
What is an Insurance Claim Dispute Resolution?
An insurance claim dispute resolution is the process of resolving a disagreement between an insurance provider and a policyholder about an asset. An appraisal is an alternate dispute resolution that allows the policyholder and carrier to resolve their issues by escalating the issue to litigation. The Appraisal process typically goes as follows:
- The policyholder and/or the carrier disagree on the valuation of a repair, replacement, or loss.
- Each party selects an independent appraiser who will gather information to determine a fair valuation.
- If the two parties cannot agree on a valuation, they will jointly select an umpire.
- The umpire determines the property or asset’s value, and that valuation is binding if one or both disputing parties agree on the valuation.
