Benefits of valuation:● Significantly reduces risk of underinsurance● Insurer receives, policyholder pays the correct premium ● In the event of a claim, adjuster can immediately focus on
the claim, rather than any underinsurance issue, which might delay the repair process and lead to unrecoverable increased costs
