DISPUTED AND DENIED CLAIMS

You May Be Denied Valid Insurance Claims

Whether your home, business, or other property has been damaged by a fire, hurricane, sinkhole, windstorm, flood, theft, vandalism or any other loss, you may have a legitimate insurance claim.

Your insurance company has professionally trained adjusters and attorneys working for them that often lead to legitimate insurance claims being underpaid or flat-out denied. Prior to even considering payment of a claim, insurance companies will often require people to submit to rigorous investigations and paperwork. These events can be crucial to the ultimate outcome of your claim.

What is “Bad Faith” Insurance?

Sometimes, insurance companies will engage in practices of adjusting insurance claims in “bad faith.” Insurance companies commit bad faith when they:

• Deny a claim without a legitimate reason
• Fail to pay a legitimate claim
• Delay payment (“slow pay”) hoping for the insured to accept less
• Ignore a claim
• Deny a claim without explanation
• Harass/intimidate the policyholder

They may also try to use immigration status, employment records, or past criminal history to allege fraud to avoid payment of a claim. Our law firm has helped hundreds of clients who were underpaid, slow paid or outright denied receive the benefits they were entitled to.

Why was my insurance claim denied?

Having your insurance claim denied is undoubtedly a frustration experience that begs the question: did I make a mistake in filing my claim? Understanding why your claim was denied can be a complicated task, but in some cases, the reason why an insurance company denies a claim goes beyond a simple filing error.
