MARTIN CLAIMS CONSULTANTS
When the carrier and policyholder disagree on a claim — we settle it.
A CLEAR PATH FROM DISAGREEMENT TO A SIGNED AWARD
How it Works
The appraisal clause exists in almost every property policy, but most homeowners have never heard of it. It's a faster, private alternative to a lawsuit — and one where the policyholder gets to choose who represents them.
Appraisal invoked
Either party invokes the appraisal clause in the policy when a dispute over the amount of loss cannot be resolved
Appraisers named
Each party selects a competent, impartial appraiser. Policyholders choose us — carriers appoint their own.
Umpire selected
The appraisers agree on a umpire an experienced, independent claims or construction professional to break any impasse.
Site inspection
We document every elevation, slope, and interior — photographs, measurements, scope lines, and code items
Appraisal award
Once any two of the three sign, the award is binding on both parties. Payment follows per policy terms.
