LARGE HAIL EVENT — ACTIVE DEPLOYMENT
Large Hail Damage Is Not a Maintenance Claim.
Carriers routinely suppress large hail claims on commercial properties — misclassifying structural damage as wear, applying wrong-size hail standards, and closing files without documenting full envelope damage. If your property was struck by large hail (1.5″ or greater), your carrier’s first offer is almost certainly incomplete. Peril Adjusters is on the ground now.

Every Unit Owner Pays the Difference.
A suppressed property insurance settlement doesn’t disappear. It becomes a special assessment. It becomes a lawsuit. It becomes your liability.
Peril Adjusters provides forensic indemnification for Missouri HOAs and condominium associations — maximizing insurance recovery so your community never absorbs a loss the carrier was obligated to cover. Our fee is 10% of the Replacement Cost Value recovery we obtain. If we don’t recover more, you owe nothing.

Homeowner associations and condominium boards face a structural disadvantage in insurance claims that most residential policyholders never encounter: your policy covers every unit owner’s shared asset simultaneously — and your carrier’s adjuster is being paid to minimize every line of that exposure.
What the Carrier Does
- Submits a scope built on Xactimate benchmarks designed to suppress replacement cost
- Applies depreciation to shared components at aggressive schedules your RCV endorsement does not authorize
- Excludes code upgrade costs even when large large large hail damage triggers mandatory compliance
- Closes the file fast — before your board has time to get a second opinion
What Your Board Inherits
- A repair budget that doesn’t cover actual replacement cost
- A budget shortfall with one solution: special assessment
- Potential board liability when unit owners discover the settlement was insufficient
- A closed file the carrier will use against you if you attempt to reopen
“Our board had no idea a public adjuster could challenge the settlement after the fact. We reopened the claim 14 months later and recovered $380,000 in additional funds — money that would have been a special assessment on 112 families.”
— HOA Board President, Condominium Community, Houston MSAThe Fiduciary Duty Argument
Missouri law imposes a fiduciary duty on HOA and condominium board members. That duty — to act in the best financial interest of the association and its members — does not have a carve-out for insurance claims.
The Three Liability Triggers Boards Miss
| Trigger 1 | Accepting ACV when the policy provides RCV — without enforcing the depreciation release mechanism — results in a permanent, unrecoverable loss of association funds. |
| Trigger 2 | Failing to invoke the Appraisal Clause when the carrier’s number is demonstrably inadequate. It exists in virtually every Missouri commercial policy. |
| Trigger 3 | Closing a claim without forensic review and later discovering the settlement was insufficient — forcing a special assessment. Unit owners who pay that assessment can pursue board members who failed to challenge the original settlement. |
The Special Assessment Math — A Real Missouri Example
A 150-unit condominium association accepted a $420,000 hail settlement. Actual replacement cost: $810,000. The $390,000 gap became a $2,600 special assessment per unit. Three unit owner lawsuits followed within 90 days. Peril reviewed the claim and the supplemental recovery covered the gap entirely.
| Original Settlement | $420,000 |
| Peril Supplemental Recovery | $390,000 |
| Special Assessments Eliminated | $2,600 × 150 units |
| Board Liability Exposure Removed | 3 pending unit owner lawsuits resolved |
