Claim disputes happen more often than you might think. Whether it's coverage disagreements, valuation conflicts, or scope of damage disputes, these standoffs can drag on for months—costing you time, money, and peace of mind.

Common Dispute Triggers

  • Coverage disputes: What's covered vs. what's excluded

  • Valuation disagreements: How much damage is worth

  • Scope conflicts: What needs to be repaired vs. replaced

  • Settlement negotiations: When initial offers fall short

Why Disputes Escalate

Insurance companies have professional negotiators. Property owners typically don't. This imbalance often leads to prolonged disputes that favor the party with more resources and experience.

Breaking the Stalemate

Professional dispute resolution requires:

  • Deep insurance law knowledge to understand your rights

  • Strategic negotiation skills to present your position effectively

  • Principled advocacy that maintains professional relationships

  • Alternative resolution expertise including mediation and appraisal processes
