MANDATORY RIGHT TO APPRAISAL
My firm belief is that limiting or eliminating the Right to Appraisal in a vehicle policy will be fatal to our collective safety on the roads.
We must inform everyone involved about the consequences of removing the mandatory Right to Appraisal from vehicle insurance policies. When a dispute arises, the need to determine the correct method of repair through the Right to Appraisal by repair professionals grows with the complexity of our automobiles.
Auto Claim Specialists has collected well-documented facts and gone to agencies in an effort to assist our clients who have been harmed by their insurance carrier and to raise awareness of these systemic atrocities, as I have noted in editorials and public speaking engagements over the years. When Auto Claim Specialists evaluate a motor vehicle claim or proposed settlement, and offer their expert opinion on the offer’s fairness, there is never an upfront fee.

In total loss and repair procedure claims, under-indemnification is common in Texas. In almost every case that comes to the attention of Auto Claim Specialists, we have reduced our clients’ out-of-pocket costs associated with disputes regarding repair procedures. We have also achieved settlements for total-loss clients that are on average 28% higher than the carrier’s undisputed loss statement.
Texas residents are harmed by these staggering under-indemnifications.
The spirit of the Appraisal Clause is to fairly resolve loss disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner. By invoking the Appraisal Clause, inexperienced and biased carrier appraisers and claim handlers are removed from the process, putting an end to their management’s numerous schemes to undervalue the loss settlement and underinsure the insured. In contrast to more costly and time-consuming methods like mediation, arbitration, and litigation, loss disputes can be resolved relatively quickly, economically, equitably, and amicably by unbiased, experienced, independent third-party appraisers through the Appraisal Clause.
