Insurance Claims

 

At Onebark, we deal in facts, not assumptions. When it comes to tree-related claims or disputes, our role is to analyze the evidence, document our findings, and present conclusions that can be relied upon. We don’t overstep or overpromise—we provide exactly what’s needed: clarity in complex situations.

What We Do

Tree Failure Analysis

When a tree fails, there’s always a reason.

• Was it neglected? Diseased? Structurally compromised?
• Did weather conditions play a role?

Our job is to investigate and identify the cause. Using a methodical approach, we gather the evidence, document our findings, and provide clear explanations that leave no room for speculation.

Tree Health and Risk Evaluation

A tree’s condition isn’t always as obvious as it seems. We assess:

• Structural issues like cracks, decay, or root instability.
• Health problems, including disease, pest damage, or environmental stress.

Our evaluations are designed to help you make informed decisions about the future of the tree—whether it should be monitored, treated, or removed.

Remote Tree Assessments

In some cases, on-site visits aren’t practical or possible. We provide remote evaluations for much of the U.S., using claim photographs, site data, and expert analysis to deliver a detailed understanding of a tree’s condition or failure. If an in-person assessment is necessary, we’ll let you know.

Expert Witness Services

Our role as an expert witness is to provide clear, factual analysis that attorneys and courts can rely on.

• We present findings that are based on evidence, not conjecture.
• We explain technical issues in plain language.
• We ensure the details are clear, understandable, and rooted in real-world expertise.

 

Who We Work With

Insurance Professionals

Claims require precision. We provide assessments that focus on the facts.

• What caused the damage?
• Was the condition pre-existing or sudden?

Our reports are concise, defensible, and designed to help you resolve claims efficiently.

Homeowners

Navigating disputes over tree damage or insurance coverage can be overwhelming. We provide homeowners with:

• Objective evaluations of tree health, risk, and failure causes.
• Clear documentation you can use to advocate for your position.

We don’t take sides—we just tell you what the evidence shows.

Attorneys

Tree-related cases are rarely straightforward. That’s where we come in.

• We analyze the evidence and provide you with a clear, unbiased understanding of the facts.
• Our reports and testimony explain the technical issues, but we leave the legal arguments to you.

We don’t overreach or embellish—our findings are as far as we go, and they’re rock-solid.
