Common reasons for low offers

Repairing single slopes instead of the roof, skipping drip edge and ice & water shield, ignoring code upgrades, leaving out overhead & profit.

Your rights in Tennessee

Insurers must reasonably investigate and explain denials under T.C.A. § 56-8-105. A court may award a bad-faith penalty under § 56-7-105 only if specific requirements are proved.

What we do

Re-inspect, document every item, build a line-by-line estimate and negotiate — or invoke appraisal — until the claim is paid fairly.

Tennessee law check

  • Unfair claims practices (T.C.A. § 56-8-105): the statute identifies failures such as refusing a claim without reasonable investigation or not explaining a denial reasonably promptly. It does not set repair prices.
  • Bad-faith penalty (T.C.A. § 56-7-105): a court or jury may award up to 25% of the liability for the loss only if the statutory requirements are proved, including a demand, at least 60 days without payment, bad faith and resulting additional harm.

Nick Shank is a licensed Tennessee public adjuster, not an attorney. This rough educational range is based on illustrative repair prices, not a contractor bid, appraisal, coverage decision, legal advice, or a guarantee of recovery. Percentage = estimated repair shortfall ÷ estimated repair total; it is not a statutory underpayment finding. Your policy, deductible, depreciation, evidence and local code control the actual outcome. Read the full Tennessee law and public adjuster disclaimer.

Tennessee denied-claim FAQ

Can I reopen a denied claim in Tennessee?

Often, yes. Many denials can be challenged with better documentation, a re-inspection, or appraisal under your policy. Your policy's suit-limitation clause sets the deadline, so act quickly.

What is a public adjuster?

A public adjuster is licensed by the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance to represent you — the policyholder — not the insurance company. We document the damage, build the estimate and negotiate the settlement.

Is there a public adjuster near me?

Nick Shank works statewide — Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, the Tri-Cities and every county in between — and comes to your property for the inspection.

Does Tennessee have a matching law?

No specific statute. But when repaired areas can't match the rest of your roof, cabinets or floors, your policy's replacement-cost and "like kind and quality" language may still require wider replacement.

What does it cost?

The claim review is free. If we take your claim, our fee is a percentage of the recovery set out in a written contract, as Tennessee law requires — no recovery, no fee.
