When a carrier and policyholder invoke a policy's appraisal clause, both sides need a factual record they can trust equally. Delator Claims Division provides that neutral documentation anywhere in Tennessee.
The Reality of Appraisal Clause Disputes in Tennessee
Most Tennessee property policies include an appraisal clause: when a carrier and a policyholder disagree on the amount of a loss, each side names its own appraiser, and the two appraisers select a neutral umpire to resolve any remaining disagreement. The entire process depends on both appraisers — and the umpire — working from a shared, accurate understanding of the property's actual condition.
In practice, that shared understanding is often the hardest part to establish, especially if time has passed since the original loss, partial repairs have already been made, or the two sides simply visited the property separately and documented different things. A neutral party retained specifically to document current conditions, without a stake in the outcome, gives both appraisers — and the umpire, if needed — a common factual starting point.
