Insurance Appraisal Process Minnesota Homeowners Can Trust

Disputes in property damage claims are frustrating. The insurance appraisal process Minnesota policyholders rely on is a powerful and effective way to resolve claim disagreements. At Farrand Claim Consulting, enable you to initiate this process with clarity, speed, and confidence so you don’t get shortchanged.

Understanding the Insurance Appraisal Process in Minnesota

The insurance appraisal process is a formal method built into many policies. It allows both the policyholder and the insurance company to appoint licensed appraisers who independently determine the value of the damage. This process helps avoid lawsuits and ensures a fair settlement.

How to Trigger the Appraisal Clause

If there is a dispute over your claim amount, you have the right to activate the appraisal clause. Taking this step moves your claim forward without legal delays. At Farrand, we manage the paperwork and guide you through every step. Use our secure online appraisal form to begin the process today.

Choosing Qualified Appraisers

Each side selects one licensed appraiser. These professionals conduct a thorough inspection and estimate your loss. Their job is to fairly represent each party, based on facts. By choosing Farrand Claim Consulting, you gain experienced representation that protects your best interest.

Selecting a Neutral Umpire

The two appraisers work together to choose a third party: the umpire. If they disagree, the umpire reviews both estimates and casts the deciding vote. As long as your policy covers the loss, this decision is final and enforceable.

Finalizing a Fair Settlement Through Appraisal

The insurance appraisal process Minnesota property owners benefit from ensures a faster, more balanced outcome. The final decision is based on evidence, not insurer bias. With Farrand involved, you can move forward knowing your claim was fairly resolved.

See All FAQ’s

What is a public insurance adjuster?

A public insurance adjuster is a licensed professional who works for YOU, not the insurance company. Public adjusters represent policyholders during property insurance claims, helping interpret policy language, assess losses, and negotiate for a higher settlement. Unlike insurance adjusters, we’re on your side.

How much does it cost to hire a public adjuster?

Most public adjusters work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid when you receive a payout. Fees typically range from 10% to 20% of your claim, depending on the size and complexity of the case. This aligns our motivation with yours.

Why work with a public adjuster when my insurance company already assigned one?

Because the insurance company’s adjuster protects their bottom line. A public adjuster defends yours. We challenge low offers, explain complex policy terms, and ensure all your damages are properly valued and covered.

How long does the insurance claim process take?

Every claim is different. Some resolve in weeks, others take months. But hiring a public adjuster typically shortens the timeline. We keep documentation in order and drive progress forward.

How does a public adjuster differ from an insurance company adjuster?

Simple: who we work for.

Insurance company adjusters protect insurers.
Public adjusters, like us at Farrand Claim Consulting, advocate solely for you.
