Professional. Structured. Policy-driven.

The Role of a Neutral Umpire in Insurance Appraisal

In the insurance appraisal process, each party selects a competent appraiser. When those appraisers cannot agree on the amount of loss, a neutral umpire is selected to resolve the dispute.

The neutral umpire:

  • Reviews submissions from both appraisers

  • Evaluates market valuation evidence

  • Analyzes repair methodology disputes

  • Interprets applicable policy language

  • Issues a binding appraisal award when required

The objective is not advocacy — it is impartial resolution.
