Estimating & Workflow
Appraisal demand
A formal request to begin the appraisal process under the policy's appraisal clause. It tells the insurer that the policyholder does not accept the loss value and wants appraisers appointed. Because the demand triggers a timeline, the date it is made and the papers attached to it matter a great deal.
