Build a written claim record

Tennessee’s published consumer guide recommends asking the adjuster for a written explanation when a claim amount is disputed and checking the actual policy for an appraisal clause. It also suggests involving the repairer in discussions with the adjuster. This is practical guidance, not proof that every policy or third-party claim grants appraisal.

Use the correct complaint route

Tennessee’s complaint service requires that the policy have been written in Tennessee. Third-party consumers with concerns about someone else’s insurance are directed to call Consumer Insurance Services about available options. The department can review compliance, but cannot determine damaged-property value, conclude fault, or negotiate third-party settlements. Preserve the valuation and repair records separately from a complaint about insurer conduct.

Choose the service and evidence for your asset

Send unit identification, current location, damage photographs and the requested scope. Supplements need the baseline estimate and evidence for added operations; desk review needs specific questions.

Heavy trucks, trailers, agricultural or construction equipment, ATVs, boats and aircraft require asset-specific scope and fee confirmation. Auto rules do not automatically govern these assets. Estimating is not a safety, seaworthiness or airworthiness certification.

Estimating, policy appraisal and property valuation are distinct

A damage estimate does not appoint an appraisal-clause appraiser, umpire or adjuster. These roles have separate requirements. We do not decide coverage or guarantee payment.

Home and mortgage valuations require separate credentials, lender ordering and any applicable appraisal-management compliance. This page does not confirm an available real estate provider network.
