Appraisal

What happens if you and the insurance company simply cannot agree on your damages?
Maybe you have reached an impasse with them, and do not know where to turn. Are you frustrated by the amount of time that has passed since you filed your claim?
Has your insurance company offered a settlement that is simply not enough to repair the property?
Do they want to clean items instead of replacing them?
Maybe they have depreciated items heavily?
Are they continuing to request more documentation from you such as receipts, invoices or wanting three estimates?

All insurance policies have an appraisal clause that most people do not know about. This means that rather than accepting their final figures, you can demand appraisal, which is similar to arbitration or mediation.

There are several advantages to you when you demand appraisal:

It is less expensive than going to litigation.
It is a quicker process than litigation.
The insurance adjuster is removed from the process, so you now have a disinterested party on the other side.
You chose the appraiser to represent you going forward.

We have helped many people with insurance appraisals, and we have recovered substantially more money. Every claim is different and presents its own unique challenges. Rather than simply accepting what the insurance company has offered you, you should exercise your policy rights and demand appraisal.

If you are unhappy with the settlement your insurance company is offering you, or simply feel that your claim is not being handled in a timely fashion, please contact our offices and speak to one of our adjusters. They will review your claim and advise you if moving forward with appraisal is a good option for you.

From the first phone to the final in person visit Americlaims Andy we're the embodiment of professionalism, knowledge, integrity, and often times emotional support during venting about State Farm Adjuster, Verna, and the inexcusable business practices. Andy walked us through the fire and we came out the other end receiving what was legally owed. If you are struggling with your insurance adjuster then call Americlaims and let them know we sent you

Americlaims may be the best thing that has ever happened to us. We cannot thank them enough for all they did for our family. Last year, my husband and I bought our first home....and our first night there literally 4 hours into being in our new home, our moving truck was stolen out of our driveway, with all of our belongings in it. We had the clothes on our back, and that was it. We lost everything we have ever owned. My fathers ashes, family heirlooms, wedding photos...not to mention all of our furniture, electronics, checkbooks, college diplomas, clothes, our doctoral white coats...etc I called my home owners insurance company to initiate a claim, and they sent me a blank piece of paper and told me to just write everything down we lost. We didn't even know where to begin. It was overwhelming.Someone told us about public insurance adjusters. And honestly we didn't know that companies like Americlaims existed. But we met with Tonya....and it was the best decision we've ever made. Tonya worked diligently to file our claim. She provided us with all the tools and info we needed to recall what we lost. She helped us itemize, price, and negotiate with our insurance company so that we could be compensated fairly for our losses. She was 100 on our team. It's been almost a year since our theft, and we are just wrapping up with this insurance process. And I just can't thank Tonya and Americlaims enough for all they have done for us. It made a very hectic and stressful time much more manageable. As a newly married couple, they honestly gave us the opportunity to get our life back. Without them we would have had to start over using all of our savings.
