Peer Review

A trained expert from our team will perform an unbiased review of the claim history. A Calibrated professional will complete a pre‐litigation, videotaped inspection of the loss location and all damages to document the property in its current condition. We will then compare it with the evidence gathered by the insurance adjuster(s), engineer(s), vendor(s), etc. following the loss.

This is very important as we can document and testify regarding repairs that have or have not been completed. Additionally, we will determine if the current demand for indemnity is consistent with the date of loss, cause of loss, and industry standards for what is reasonable, fair, and customary.
