An Insurance Denial Is Not the End of Your Claim.
Here's what insurance companies won't tell you: denials and underpayments are part of their playbook. Every carrier has incentives to pay less, and they use policy ambiguities, documentation gaps, and adjuster inexperience to make it happen.
Drew the Adjuster has over 10 years of experience fighting insurance companies. We've reopened hundreds of denied and underpaid claims, found coverage they missed, and negotiated settlements that carriers initially refused to consider.
Whether your claim was denied outright, settled for less than it's worth, or closed with hidden damage still undiscovered, we'll evaluate your case and fight for what you're owed.
When a Claim Gets Denied or Shortchanged
Claims get denied for reasons that are often contestable. Coverage gaps, documentation issues, misapplied exclusions, and depreciation withholdings are all areas where a public adjuster can make a difference.
Coverage Misapplication
Carriers sometimes misread policy language to deny valid claims. We analyze your policy line-by-line to find the coverage they missed.
Insufficient Documentation
Independent claims often lack the technical documentation carriers demand. We produce engineering reports, photos, and scope documents that force reconsideration.
Depreciation Withholding (ACV → RCV)
Many carriers withhold depreciation on actual cash value settlements. We recover that withheld amount when replacement cost coverage applies.
Partial Scope Settlements
Carriers sometimes settle for a partial amount, leaving damage undiscovered. We inspect for hidden damage and reopen the claim.
Bad Faith Tactics
Unreasonable delays, lowball offers, and refusal to explain denials may constitute bad faith. We know when to escalate.
Planning Ranges for Reopened Claim Recoveries
| Scenario | Additional Recovery | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Depreciation recovery | $5,000 - $25,000 | $12,000 |
| Partial scope completion | $15,000 - $60,000 | $30,000 |
| Full denial reversal | $30,000 - $200,000+ | $75,000 |
| Bad faith negotiation | $25,000 - $150,000+ | $60,000 |
Broad planning ranges. Actual recoveries depend on policy coverage, original settlement amount, carrier responsiveness, and evidence quality.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Denied & Underpaid Claims
Can you help if my claim was already denied?
Yes. Even if your claim was denied or underpaid, we can reevaluate and fight for a fair settlement. Many denials are successfully appealed.
How do I know if my claim was underpaid?
If your settlement doesn't cover the full cost of repairs, or if carriers withheld depreciation, you may have been underpaid. Schedule a free review to find out.
Is there a deadline to appeal a denial?
Yes. Most policies have strict deadlines for appeals (often 60-180 days). Act quickly — we can evaluate your case immediately.
How much does it cost to reopen a claim?
Our fee is a percentage of the additional recovery. You pay nothing upfront, and only if we recover more money for you.
