Services
Appraisal
Appraisal is an option should the insurance carrier determine the value of the damage to your property to be less than the actual amount owed. We have in-depth experience with appraisal proceedings and will efficiently navigate you through the process, if necessary.
Claims Handling
Understanding how an insurance claim is handled by an insurance carrier is extremely important in potentially resolving your claim in a timely and satisfactory manner. Our years of experience working in-house at a major property insurance carrier ensures you have superior representation.
Estimating the Loss
Properly determining the scope and cost of repairs or replacement of your property can be the difference in a timely resolution from the carrier or the prolonged delay of your claim. We assist by obtaining actual contractor estimates that you can feel confident standing behind.
Litigation
If the insurance company disagrees with our position on your behalf, and all other avenues to resolve the dispute are unsuccessful, we may file a lawsuit with your approval. Litigation is often a necessary step to resolution, and we are willing to try the case in front of a jury to resolve your claim.
Negotiation
Our office will coordinate with the insurance carrier to include its desk adjusters and defense counsel in order to negotiate your claim to resolution. Negotiation may occur informally or at a mediation or arbitration proceeding.
Retention of Experts
Our evaluation of your claim is only as strong as the experts evaluating your property. We will vet and coordinate experts such as engineers, building consultants, forensic meteorologists and licensed contractors to assess the damage to your property.
