Frequently Asked Questions
Are valuable art and antiques covered by my standard insurance policy?
Not always. Many policies have limits on high-value items, and some require special riders or scheduled coverage. Our team reviews your policy to determine what is included and ensures you maximize your coverage.
Value can be based on appraisals, purchase receipts, market comparables, or expert evaluations. Insurance companies often undervalue items, which is why independent appraisals and strong documentation are critical.
While receipts are helpful, they are not the only way to prove ownership or value. Photographs, prior appraisals, certificates of authenticity, and even credit card or bank records can help support your claim.
Yes. Restoration costs, as well as any loss in market value after restoration (called “diminished value”), can be part of your claim. Our adjusters make sure these details aren’t overlooked.
Insurers often lack the expertise to properly value rare or one-of-a-kind pieces, which can lead to unfair settlements. A public adjuster ensures your claim accounts for true replacement value, restoration costs, and market depreciation.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the claim and the insurer’s process. Some cases resolve quickly, while others require negotiation or additional documentation. Hunter Claims works to keep your claim moving and avoid unnecessary delays.
