6. Final Demand

7. Escalation


We have received a no from the carrier on payment. We discuss with you the options moving forward.


7:1 Appraisal


Less adversarial but potentially more risky of an option vs legal. Insured is required by law to hire their own appraiser, and pay any fees incurred per the insurance policy. ECS will be available throughout this process for guidance and referrals as needed.


7:2 Legal


File suit against the insurance company to recover any damages to you and your property not paid by the carrier.
