A homeowner received a claim for all the damages caused by a water leak that, according to the other party, came from her home.
Furthermore, she did not have insurance coverage.
ÓPTIMA PERICIAL analyzed the installation and routing of the pipes that ran through the house.
The counter-expert report demonstrated that the leak originated not in his private installation, but in a communal pipe running through the property. Based on the technical justification provided, the opposing party withdrew the lawsuit and agreed to cover the costs incurred, thus avoiding a trial.
Following an incident at a villa, the initial insurance valuation included the damaged furniture using standard prices, including some clearly equivalent to inexpensive catalog furniture.
The owner knew that the valuation did not reflect the reality of the property.
ÓPTIMA PERICIAL reviewed the appraisal and documented the existing furniture using purchase invoices, manufacturer references, and the actual replacement value.
The counter-expert report proved that the contents of the villa were greatly undervalued, and an additional €23,000 was recovered in the compensation.
Following a flood incident, the Insurance Compensation Consortium assessed the damage to a home at €60,000.
The owner, who had seen how the water had swept away a large part of the house, decided to review that assessment.
ÓPTIMA PERICIAL analyzed the actual extent of the damage and carried out a complete assessment of the affected elements.
The counter-expert report proved that the actual damages amounted to approximately €150,000.
A tenant who operated a restaurant claimed substantial sums from the landlord, alleging that repairs had been carried out due to supposed hidden defects in the premises.
The invoices submitted included numerous services performed during the operation of the business.
OPTIMA PERICIAL analyzed each of the invoices provided and the type of work performed.
The counter-expert report made it possible to demonstrate that most of those works actually corresponded to improvements introduced by the tenant himself to improve the commercial operation of the restaurant and not to repairs derived from hidden defects of the property.
After a house fire, the insurer's proposal basically consisted of cleaning some surfaces and repainting the affected areas.
The owner, who had seen how the smoke had invaded the entire house, decided to request a counter-expert report.
ÓPTIMA PERICIAL analyzed the true extent of the damage caused by the fire and smoke.
The counter-expert report demonstrated that the damage was not limited to what was visible and that the actual extent of the incident was much greater than initially estimated.
A souvenir shop suffered damage that forced it to close for several weeks.
The initial assessment only covered some basic repairs to the premises.
ÓPTIMA PERICIAL reviewed the case and analyzed not only the material damages, but also the impact that the closure of the business had had on the activity.
The counter-expert report helped to justify the true extent of the damage suffered by the business.
A burst water heater caused a major flood in a home, damaging furniture, belongings and numerous items inside.
The insurer performed a reduced valuation by applying high depreciation and denying the application of the replacement value guarantee provided for in the policy.
ÓPTIMA PERICIAL carried out a thorough inspection of the damaged goods and analyzed the applicable technical depreciation tables.
The counter-expert report made it possible to demonstrate that the vast majority of the damaged goods should be compensated at new value, without applying depreciation for use, since the technical useful life established in said tables had not been exceeded.
At Optima Pericial, we handle counter-appraisals in Ibiza and throughout the Balearic Islands. We act quickly after any claim to carry out an independent technical assessment and defend your interests against the insurance company.
A counter-expert report is an independent technical report that is carried out to respond to, contrast or refute the conclusions of a previous expert opinion presented by the opposing party in a conflict.
It's important to understand that a counter-appraisal isn't always aimed at an insurance company. It's a necessary technical defense tool in any claim where there are two opposing viewpoints
In disputes between individuals or companies: If a third party (such as a neighbor or a construction company) claims damages against you based on their own expert's report, you have the right to present a counter-expert report that analyzes the same facts from an independent technical perspective to defend your interests.
In dealing with insurance companies: When the insurance company issues a technical assessment with which you disagree, the counter-assessment serves to demonstrate with technical rigor the errors or shortcomings of that initial report.
By definition, a counter-expert report is a document prepared by the expert for the opposing party or the party that disagrees with the initial assessment. Its purpose is to provide an objective and professional perspective that serves as a basis for a judge or administrative body to determine who is technically correct in the dispute.
It is advisable to request a counter-expert opinion when:
The insurer is offering very low compensation.
There are damages not included in the assessment
The insurance expert's report contains errors or incorrect valuations.
The company denies the claim.
Yes. A counter-expert report can be used to negotiate with the insurer and review the compensation offered.
Yes. Expert reports prepared by qualified experts can be presented as expert evidence in legal proceedings.
The cost depends on the type of claim, the complexity of the case, and the preparation of the expert technical report.
At Optima Pericial we analyze each case to determine the scope of the necessary counter-expertise.
If you disagree with the valuation made by the insurer, a professional counter-appraisal can help you claim fair compensation.
