Umpire Services
An umpire is a competent, disinterested, impartial individual appointed by the appraisers of a claim with making a decision regarding the value of property or the amount of a property loss. During an insurance claim appraisal the umpire is an appointed professional who makes a binding decision after the two parties in an appraisal process fail to agree on a loss. In short, an umpire is a trained dispute resolution expert who should also have some experience in understanding insurance adjusting and all its components.The services of an umpire are critical in every appraisal.
