May CLE "Navigating hail-related property claims and resolving appraisal disputes" With J.S. Held

May 13, 2026

In this webinar, attendees will hear from an experienced insurance appraiser and a certified meteorologist on navigating hail-related property claims and resolving appraisal disputes. This session will translate storm science into claim clarity—covering hail science, weather data misnomers, and how trained meteorologists can help corroborate hail events and connect those insights to on-the-ground damage identification, scoping, and documentation best practices. Attendees will learn how appraisals function in real disputes, including selecting impartial appraisers, working with umpires, presenting fact-based evidence, and avoiding common pitfalls.
