Why Insurance Claims Are Often Underpaid in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City claims are underpaid for a few common reasons. First, the insurance company adjuster has to get through claims as fast as possible to close them out. Second, since they are pressured to close claims fast their inspections are rushed and common items are missed. Lastly, the education level of most insurance company adjusters is minimal and highly focused on the policy language, with little to none construction experience. This leaves the policy holder with underpaid claims.

Hidden or Secondary Damage Overlooked

Many claims miss critical hidden damage that requires thorough documentation to ensure full compensation. The lack of knowledge is leading cause of missed items from an insurance companies adjusters. Our Salt Lake City public adjusters have actual construction experience.

Excluded Remediation and Rebuild Costs

An insurance adjuster comes out once to see the damage, then writes a settlement offer based on the surface damage that can be seen at that snapshot in time. Our team visits the site multiple times to view the damage behind the drywall, under the roof shingles, and behind the bathtub. This process allows us to fight to repair all the damage from your claim.

Rushed Settlements by Adjusters

Adjusters often focus only on visible damage and push for quick settlements that shortchange policyholders.

Incorrect Depreciation Application

Excessive or improper depreciation reduces claim payouts below the actual repair costs.

Misinterpreted Policy Coverages

Important coverages like ordinance/law and additional living expenses are frequently misunderstood or ignored.
