Estimating & Workflow
Appraiser
The professional each side names under the appraisal clause to value a loss. The insurer's appraiser and the policyholder's appraiser work with their own records, then meet with the umpire they choose together. Because the decision is binding on coverage, the documentation the policyholder's appraiser receives must be complete.
