When a Memphis-area property claim stalls on the amount of loss, we serve as an independent appraiser or neutral umpire under the policy's appraisal clause — resolving disputes over damages, repair scope, methodology, quantities, and pricing without stepping into coverage or legal questions.
Memphis property claims carry their own patterns: aging housing stock across Midtown and the older neighborhoods, straight-line wind and hail across Shelby County, hard spring storms off the Mississippi River corridor, and heavy losses to both residential and the region's large commercial and distribution footprint. We bring 15+ years of both-sides claim experience — carrier-side adjusting, building consulting, and appraisal — to every Memphis assignment.
Being based here means faster site inspections, real knowledge of local construction and pricing, and no travel premium for Shelby County work. Estimating, review, and consulting are delivered remotely wherever it makes sense.

Certified Xactimate estimates for carriers, contractors, policyholders, and attorneys.

Across Memphis and Shelby County we most often work claims involving wind and hail to roofs and exteriors, storm-driven water intrusion, fire and smoke losses, and disputed roof damage causation — the exact areas where an appraisal or umpire panel needs someone who can read the damage on the merits. Drone and thermal imaging (FAA Part 107, ITC certified) are available where roof or moisture questions drive the dispute.
Counsel evaluating an appraisal file needs a technical appraiser who can separate estimate noise from the real amount-of-loss issues. RiskAxis organizes disputed scope, repair method, quantities, pricing, photos, reports, and Xactimate line items into positions that can be reviewed, challenged, and explained without turning the assignment into a coverage opinion.
When appraisers, counsel, or a court need a neutral umpire candidate, RiskAxis starts with conflicts, role discipline, and the appraisal clause. The umpire work is limited to damages, repair scope, methodology, quantities, and price. Coverage, liability, policy interpretation, and legal entitlement stay outside the assignment.
CV, fee schedule, availability, inspection plan, and document requests are handled early so the panel can move. The goal is a clean amount-of-loss record: what is agreed, what remains disputed, what evidence supports each position, and what number the supported repair requires.
RiskAxis Solutions does not sell insurance. Appraisal and umpire assignments address amount of loss under the applicable policy process. RiskAxis does not provide legal advice, interpret insurance coverage, or render coverage opinions. Coverage and legal questions belong with qualified coverage counsel, the insurer, or the appropriate licensed insurance professional.
