The definition of APPRAISAL is the determination of  value of the loss. The loss value only is considered, no consideration of the insurance policy contract would be applied. This is a neutral determination of value method.
‍
When there is a dispute of value on an insurance claim and the appraisal clause of the policy needs to be invoked, there may be a need to hire an appraiser. This company would be hired by the policy holder to determine what the value of the property damages are. The insurance company would also hire an independent appraisal company to appraise the property damages.  

The two companies would then meet to compare their findings. If they are not able to agree then a MEDIATOR would be brought in to make a determination of value. The appraisal process is considered binding unless no agreement can be made. The mediation process to assess each appraisal company’s findings would then be the binding decision. We offer both the appraisal and the mediation services.
