Three moves for right now.

Before any report, any call, any professional: protect your file. These cost nothing.

If underpaid
  1. Get an itemized copy of their estimate — line items, not just the total.
  2. Get a written, itemized scope from your contractor.
  3. Don't sign anything marked “release” or “full and final” until you understand it.

Then the report compares the two, line by line.

Common concerns

What people ask after a bad claim decision.

If your claim was underpaid
Why is their estimate so much lower than my contractor's?

Usually one of three things: line items left out, prices set below local rates, or depreciation and deductible math. The gap has a location. The report finds it, item by item.

If I cash the check, is my claim over?

A payment and a settlement are different things — but anything that asks for your signature, or says “full and final” or “release,” deserves a careful read before signing. What your specific paperwork means is a question for a licensed professional, and a reason to have your file organized first.

What is recoverable depreciation?

Under many replacement-cost policies, the carrier holds back depreciation and releases it after repairs are completed and documented. If your letter shows a withheld amount, your report flags it.

What's ACV versus RCV, and which one am I being paid?

Actual cash value pays what the item was worth the day it was damaged — replacement cost minus depreciation. Replacement cost value pays what it takes to replace it new, usually in two parts. Which one applies is on your policy and your carrier's estimate. The report reads them together and shows where you stand.

Can I get their estimate line by line?

Yes. Ask the claims contact for the itemized estimate or scope of loss — in writing. Carriers typically send it. Once it's in your file, the report can put it next to your contractor's numbers and show exactly where the gap sits.

Do I have to use their preferred contractor?

In most states, no. You generally have the right to choose your own. What matters for the claim is that the estimate is complete and priced to local rates. The report flags where the carrier's numbers fall short of that, regardless of who wrote them.

The report

Built to answer two questions.

Does their decision hold up — and is it worth professional review.

Does their decision hold up?

Their letter, weighed against your photos, your contractor's numbers, and your dates. Stated directly.

Does it warrant professional review?

Yes or no, with the reason. When it's yes, professional review is one tap away — free.

Where the gaps are

Each one tied to the document it came from.

What's missing

The document that would strengthen your file most, and how to get it.

What it rests on

Every finding cites its source. Anything described from memory is marked that way.

Claim reportSample
Does it hold up?

Their estimate doesn't hold up against your contractor's — and the difference isn't the deductible. Two of the three gaps trace to their estimate, not your policy.

Worth escalating?
Yes — this file warrants a professional's review. The gaps below are why.
What doesn't line up
Payment gap — the carrier's estimate is below your contractor's, and the difference isn't the deductible.
Depreciation withheld — an amount your policy may return once repairs are complete.
What lines up
Dates consistent — the letter matches the storm date.
What's missing
The adjuster's report — request a copy from your carrier's claims line.

The business model

The report is free because licensed professionals in our network pay us when you request an introduction. You never pay. No one contacts you without your request.

The professional network

Licensed professionals, on your terms.

Say yes to professional review, and your file goes to a licensed professional from our network — firms and public adjusters whose work is storm and property claims. They read the same report you do, and contact you once. Say no, and no one ever does.

Whether an insurer acted in bad faith is a legal determination — software can't make it. The report shows whether your file raises the questions a professional would examine. This is what the network exists for.

Licensed and verified

Credentials checked before they see a single file.

Storm-claim focus

This is the work they do — not a sideline.

No cost to you

They pay us for the introduction. You never pay.

One contact

A single reach-out. What happens next is your call.

Recorded consent

Your yes is logged with a timestamp. Nothing moves without it.

Privacy

Your file stays yours.

Documents are encrypted in transit and stored privately. Claimalyx never contacts your insurance company, and nothing about your claim changes. Your file is shared only when you request professional review — and that consent is recorded. Deletion is available at any time.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is this a law firm?

No. Claimalyx produces an independent report on your own claim documents. Professional review is arranged only at your request, at no cost to you.

What's the catch?

The report is free because licensed professionals in our network pay us when you request an introduction. You never pay.

Can it tell me if they acted in bad faith?

Bad faith is a legal determination — software can't make it. The report shows whether your file raises the questions a professional would examine. Professional review exists for exactly that, free.

Will my insurance company know?

No. Claimalyx never contacts your insurer, and nothing about your claim changes.

What if the report finds nothing wrong?

Then it says so, plainly. A file that supports the carrier's decision ends the second-guessing at zero cost.

I lost the paperwork. Can I still do this?

Yes. Describe what each document said in a sentence or two. The report uses it and marks it as described rather than verified.
