Kansas Umpire List

Kansas Umpire List

If you live in Kansas and have an insurance claim and settlement negotiation, you may discover that an umpire is needed to navigate differences between two appraisers. Whether you are a homeowners insurance policyholder or an insurer, you may be called upon to seek out an expertly-qualified umpire. 

What do umpires do?

In Kansas, umpires are specialists that act as objective arbitrators between two insurance claims appraisers that cannot come to a negotiated agreement on their own. Kansas umpires are often private insurance estimators, insurance attorneys, or independent public insurance adjusters that have the insurance assessments expertise necessary to appraise the dubious claim.

For example, if you live in Kansas and think an insurance settlement is not correct, you might hire your own insurance claims appraiser. However, what if the two claim appraisers' estimates are dramatically different? They might be able to negotiate a fair and just deal. However if the claim appraisers cannot do so, then that's where an umpire comes in. Professional insurance umpires understand Kansas's remodeling business, local and state building codes, and related costs. Look for a Kansas umpire who is informed about the insurance issues that mean the most to you.

While the Kansas Insurance Department manages insurance carriers, umpires are not generally licensed in any state. While specific umpire licensing is not required by Kansas, most umpires have related professional licenses and certificates. For instance, if the umpire is also an independent public insurance adjuster, then he has met Kansas's insurance licensing requirements for his occupation. Similarly, insurance attorneys must uphold their lawyer's licenses.

If you are a homeowners policyholder mixed up in an insurance negotiation in Kansas, selecting an umpire to assist the two insurance estimators come to an agreement is a great first step to ensure that you are treated equitably by your insurer.
