Policy and file review
Review the policy, declarations, endorsements, claim correspondence, estimates, payments, denials, photographs, receipts, and loss history.
Michigan property insurance claim advocacy
Allyn PC represents policyholders—not insurance companies—in residential, business, and commercial property claims from initial claim development through litigation.
A strong adjustment record should do more than support today's payment request. Counsel can develop the claim around the policy, elements of proof, anticipated insurer defenses, witnesses, experts, and documents that may become important if the dispute proceeds to court.
Review the policy, declarations, endorsements, claim correspondence, estimates, payments, denials, photographs, receipts, and loss history.
Identify omitted damage, disputed repair methods, pricing issues, depreciation, code requirements, contents losses, and additional living expense.
Prepare a documented claim position, supply missing proof, request reconsideration, and demand the insurer's position in writing.
Attorney-led representation
Both public adjusters and policyholder counsel may assist with documentation, estimates, and negotiations. Allyn PC provides those claim-development services within an attorney-client relationship and can also advise on coverage and legal rights, protect privileged communications, represent the insured in an examination under oath or SIU investigation, and file suit when necessary.
No single option is right for every claim. The appropriate approach depends on the policy, stage of the claim, disputed issues, deadlines, and amount at stake.
Fire, smoke, water, freeze, wind, hail, theft, vandalism, personal property, and additional living expense disputes.
Building, equipment, inventory, business-property, and related coverage disputes involving substantial documentation or competing experts.
Claims involving coverage denials, incomplete scopes, inadequate estimates, withheld depreciation, repeated requests, delayed benefits, or SIU scrutiny.
The same counsel can evaluate the loss, develop the claim record, negotiate with the insurer, prepare the policyholder for an examination under oath, advise concerning mediation or appraisal, and litigate when necessary. This avoids rebuilding the file and changing strategy at the moment the dispute becomes legal.
