Spanish term or phrase: Peritación
This is aproperty insurance contract.
And I think it is most likely related to "loss adjustment" but maybe not - what do you think?

"12. Peritación de siniestros extraordinarios amparados por el Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros."

Thanks!

Adjustment is made to determine the amount payable by the insurer. In tis case it would be adjustment of an extraordinary loss not covered by the insurer but by the Spanish Pool that indemnifies extraordinry or catastrophic losses. That pool is funded by a % surcharge applied to damage policies.

expert's assessment


Explanation:
la RAE define Peritación 1. f. Trabajo o estudio que hace un perito.

Si en el contexto, consideras que ajuste, va mejor, en todo caso yo me quedaría con "Assessment" como parte de la evaluación de los daños a cargo del perito

ExpertLaw > Expert Witnesses > Damages Assessment
Experts on damages can help determine the financial value of losses and injuries, including compensatory and punitive damages, lost wages, lost profits, damage or destruction of real estate, personal property, machinery, and industrial equipment, loss of market share, and damages due to discrimination or natural disasters. Damages assessment often involves sophisticated analysis and computer modeling.

Notes to answerer
Asker: two very different responses "experts analysis" and "adjustment"...!

Asker: thank you. so, in my case, is it "adjustment for..." - could it be "loss adjustment for".. I feel this is the work of a"loss adjuster", but am not at all sure...
