This workshop explores how damages are measured under the Loss Settlement provision, focusing on the tension between software-generated estimates and evolving case law. Participants will examine how courts, appraisers, and umpires interpret actual cash value and replacement cost, and what that means for the admissibility of estimates in litigation and in appeal. The session provides practical insights for claims professionals, litigators, and appraisers navigating these complex issues.
