Why Do Valid Insurance Claims Get Denied?

There’s nothing more frustrating than having a valid insurance claim denied. Whether you’re dealing with car insurance, homeowners’ insurance, life insurance, or health insurance, getting denied means paying bills you shouldn’t have to pay – if you can pay them at all.

Should I Hire an Insurance Lawyer?

Do you want to make an insurance claim? While filing a claim is meant to be a simple and straightforward process, the process often becomes complicated and even overwhelming. Insurance law isn’t as simple as many would like to believe.

Negotiating Insurance Claims

If you were involved in an automobile accident and want to get the settlement you deserve, you will need a high-powered strategy to win your claim. Negotiating claims appears simple at first, but can present some unexpected factors that may prevent you from getting a full settlement. This is where the expertise of a highly skilled lawyer comes in.

Can I Sue My Insurance Company?

People take out insurance in order to cover losses when something unexpected occurs such as an accident. It can therefore be frustrating and even devastating when your insurance provider fails to honor your insurance policy and pay what is owed.

Managing Insurance Claims

The best thing you can do when you need to collect on a settlement is have a skilled lawyer for managing insurance claims. Your insurance company is going to do everything they possibly can to avoid paying your claim, no matter how legitimate it is. Insurance companies are for-profit corporations, and their number one goal is to keep as much money in their pocket as they can. Insurance companies will do everything they can do avoid litigation, so they will offer you a low settlement in the hopes that you will take it, thinking you don’t have any other choice.
