However, if an agreement can not be made during the on-site meeting of the appraisers, the next step is to proceed to an umpire. An umpire should be an impartial and competent individual, who has been agreed upon by both the insured and the insurer. In the rare case where an umpire can not be agreed upon, the decision will be turned over to the courts and they will be responsible for choosing an umpire. The umpire is ultimately responsible for settling the amount of loss, after considering the findings submitted by the appraisers of both parties involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EES has represented both parties in these disputes and can provide a cost effective and timely resolution to the appraisal process. EES can provide both insureds, insurance companies, and 3rd parties with validated estimates using industry estimating software programs. Once an umpire is agreed upon, they will take into account the information gained by both appraisers along with the expertise and background in such matters and render a decision on the amount of loss. The award can only become final if two of the three parties agree. The use of an umpire is the last step in the appraisal process, and the decision rendered by the umpire is final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid-column wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid__padding-none\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-3d\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eesgroupinc.com\/submit-project\" title=\"www.eesgroupinc.com\/submit-project\">Ready to Get Started?<br><em>Let the experienced professionals at EES assist you.<\/em><br>Submit A Project<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><amp-fit-text layout=\"fixed-height\" min-font-size=\"6\" max-font-size=\"72\" height=\"80\"><em>An umpire is utilized as the final step in the appraisal process and is agreed upon by both parties involved.<\/em><\/amp-fit-text><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><amp-fit-text layout=\"fixed-height\" min-font-size=\"6\" max-font-size=\"72\" height=\"80\"><em>An umpire should be an un-biased and competent expert on the issues of concern.<\/em><\/amp-fit-text><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><amp-fit-text layout=\"fixed-height\" min-font-size=\"6\" max-font-size=\"72\" height=\"80\"><em>An award can only become final when two of the three parties agree.<\/em><\/amp-fit-text><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><amp-fit-text layout=\"fixed-height\" min-font-size=\"6\" max-font-size=\"72\" height=\"80\"><em>The decision of an umpire is final.<\/em><\/amp-fit-text><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experience has shown that approximately 90% of cases involved with the appraisal process can be resolved without the involvement of an umpire.
