insurance appraisal integrity signInsurance Appraisal: As an independent insurance appraiser resolving insurance disputes as an impartial party, I often see that insurance companies are missing items in their estimates to return damaged properties to pre-loss conditions. Most of the time it’s because insurance adjusters are overloaded with claims, getting pressure from upper management, or most often the adjuster is just simply not qualified to review the damages in the first place.

NC Hurricane Claims - Floyd 1999In a previous post, “Home Insurance Claim And Hurricane Damage Myths” we discussed how expert storm forecasters are calling for a high-grade 2010 Atlantic basin hurricane season. The article disclosed how the Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) advises insureds on the the best ways to protect their belongings and property from hurricane claims. In light of the fact that NC has dodged the hurricane bullet for exactly 10 years (Floyd 1999), policyholders of the state should be hurricane ready in 2010. We can’t remain lucky forever.
