Claims Authority Brief

What’s Inside the Brief
The Depreciation Trap — How Carriers Reduce Your Settlement Before the Negotiation Starts
How carriers apply depreciation to RCV-endorsed items, code-required upgrades, and roofing systems using schedules the policy doesn’t authorize — and how to identify and recover every recoverable depreciation holdback.
The Matching Material Mandate — Texas §554.002 and When Full Replacement Is the Law
Texas Insurance Code §554.002 requires like kind and quality. When original materials are discontinued, that obligation extends to the entire affected system. This chapter covers enforcement strategy on roofs, façades, HVAC, and interior components.
The Scope Suppression Playbook — Five Tactics Carriers Use to Close Files Fast
Isolated damage findings, LKQ material substitution, unauthorized depreciation, excluded code upgrades, and never-claimed business income. This chapter identifies each tactic and provides the documentation counter-protocol.
The Business Income Blind Spot — The Coverage Almost Never Claimed on Commercial Files
Business income for uninhabitable units, lost program revenue, rental income loss, and extra expense coverage — the economic losses carriers never raise because raising them is not in their financial interest.
The Peril Engagement Model — From Suppressed Offer to Full Settlement in Five Steps
The forensic indemnification process from initial review to final payment: re-inspection, policy analysis, supplemental proof of loss, Prompt Payment Act compliance, and escalation protocol. Includes the 10% contingency engagement structure.
