When insurance disputes reach a deadlock, and appraisers from both sides cannot agree on the value of a claim, the next logical step is to bring in a neutral third party: the umpire. TP Appraisals offers Umpire Services designed to resolve these disputes swiftly and fairly, ensuring both parties receive a resolution they can trust.
What Are Umpire Services?
In the insurance claims process, disagreements over damage costs or repair estimates may arise. To resolve these, both the policyholder and the insurance company can appoint their own appraiser. However, if the two appraisers fail to agree, they must select an impartial umpire to review both assessments and make a binding decision. This is where TP Appraisals steps in.
Our role as a neutral umpire is to review all appraisals and deliver an unbiased decision based on facts. With TP Appraisals, you can count on a balanced, professional assessment, ensuring a fair resolution for both parties.
