Alabama currently operates without a public adjuster licensing system, unlike approximately 45 other states that regulate this profession. This raises an important question: How can Franklin Property Claims assist Alabama property owners in securing fair insurance settlements without traditional public adjuster credentials? The solution lies in a powerful yet underutilized provision already embedded in your insurance contract.
Every insurance policy sold in Alabama includes an Appraisal clause—a dispute resolution mechanism that insurance carriers rarely advertise to policyholders. Through this provision, you can designate Franklin Property Claims as your appointed Appraiser, creating a structured process similar to arbitration or mediation that operates legally in all states.
Our extensive experience encompasses over 1,000 appraisal cases, and we have found that this approach often delivers superior results compared to traditional public adjusting methods. The Appraisal process provides property owners with essential negotiating power when facing well-resourced insurance companies, creating an equitable environment where your interests receive proper representation.
Alabama residents understand the devastating impact of severe weather events. The state has endured catastrophic tornadoes, including the historic April 27, 2011, outbreak, as well as destructive hurricanes such as Ivan (2004), Sally, and Delta (2020), along with recurring flood damage and severe hailstorms. When disaster strikes your property, you naturally turn to your insurance provider, expecting a smooth claims process after years of faithful premium payments.
Unfortunately, the insurance adjuster handling your case faces an inherent dilemma that may work against your interests. They must balance their loyalty to their employer with their obligation to provide complete and equitable settlements to policyholders. This creates tension around determining what constitutes “fair” compensation and who makes that determination. Franklin Property Claims bridges this gap with independent appraisal expertise.
Franklin Property Claims is committed to ensuring Alabama residents receive every dollar they rightfully deserve under their insurance policies. We serve communities statewide, including Huntsville, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, Mobile, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach. When you suspect your insurance company’s settlement offer falls short of fair compensation, we provide professional second opinions at no upfront cost.
Our evaluation process involves a thorough physical inspection of the damaged property, combined with a comprehensive review of all relevant documentation, including estimates, policy declarations, coverage details, endorsements, and engineering assessments. This meticulous approach ensures our recommendations are based on complete information and professional analysis.
Approximately one-third of our evaluations conclude that the insurance carrier’s offer appropriately reflects both policy terms and actual damages. We believe in honest assessments, even when they don’t result in additional services. However, two-thirds of our reviews reveal significant underpayment situations where policyholders deserve substantially higher settlements. When we identify such discrepancies, we outline specific strategies for addressing these shortfalls, allowing you to decide whether to engage our services.
If you choose to proceed, we will immediately notify your insurance company of our appointment and begin the formal process of establishing accurate loss valuations.
