appraisal process
Step 1: Policy Holder Invokes Appraisal
In this initial step, the insured triggers the appraisal process by invoking the appraisal clause within their insurance policy. They formally inform the insurer that they have hired an appraiser to represent their interests and express their desire to commence the appraisal process.
Step 2: Appraiser Appointment and Umpire Discussion
During this stage, the insurance carrier appoints their own appraiser, and both appraisers connect to discuss the potential need for an umpire. The appraisers evaluate the scope of the claim and may agree on the involvement of an umpire to assist in the resolution process.
Step 3: Umpire Nomination and Negotiations
The appraisers nominate a mutually acceptable umpire, who acts as a neutral third party. The umpire’s role is to facilitate negotiations between the appraisers and help resolve any discrepancies in their evaluations. This step aims to reach a fair and agreeable settlement for both parties.
Step 4: Settlement or Umpire Decision
In the final step, the appraisers either reach an amicable settlement or, if they cannot agree, the umpire steps in to render a final decision. The umpire’s decision is binding and will determine the resolution of the appraisal, ensuring a fair outcome for all parties involved.
