How Insurance Carriers Devalue Claims - And How We Protect You
Insurance carriers are known for using tactics that reduce the true value of your claim. This often includes overlooking the proper repair methodology to limit their financial exposure, issuing partial denials on items that are in fact covered, and generally minimizing the settlement owed to you.
Carriers frequently present a “feel-good” Replacement Cost Value (RCV) to make the offer appear fair, while quietly applying excessive depreciation. This results in an Actual Cash Value (ACV) payment that leaves homeowners unable to begin necessary repairs, causing financial strain at the worst possible time.
Our team steps in to stop this.
We meticulously prepare a comprehensive estimate, apply accurate and policy-appropriate depreciation, and present this documentation directly to the carrier. This establishes the correct claim value and ensures the depreciation applied is fair, reasonable, and consistent with the policy’s promise.
Too often we see carriers offer a strong RCV number, only to depreciate the claim so heavily that the ACV becomes unusable. We make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
