DENIED INSURANCE CLAIMS
Having your home damaged by a loss or disaster is one of the most difficult experiences you face as a property owner. You invest a lot of time and money in your home. When you need your property insurance company most, they abandon you by denying your insurance claim. The financial and emotional burdens denied claims places on a homeowner can be overwhelming.
When faced with a denied insurance claim, make sure you understand why the claim is denied and under what conditions of the insurance policy your insurance company has denied the claim. Interpretation of an insurance policy can be difficult and stressful process.
Property insurance policies are complicated insurance contracts that can be more than 100 pages long. Coverage can be provided and later excluded in multiple places in the insurance policy. When faced with a denied claim, review your full insurance policy to confirm the exact reason why your claim was denied. Also examine the facts and the damages with your claim to make sure a proper denial is being issued by your insurance company.
All too often, your insurance company will incorrectly interpret its own insurance policy, or it will not perform a comprehensive investigation of the loss and damages to your insured property. When either of these events occur, it can lead to an improper denial of your insurance claim.

General Other CLAIM FAQS
If your insurance claim has been denied, the first step is to review the denial letter carefully. The letter should explain the reasons for denial, but it's important to understand that denials are not always final. In many cases, claims can be appealed or resubmitted with additional documentation. We recommend consulting with an experienced insurance lawyer to review your case and determine the best course of action.
Insurance companies may deny claims for several reasons, including incomplete paperwork, exclusions in the policy, late filing, or insufficient evidence of loss. Denials may also occur if the insurance company believes the claim is fraudulent or outside the policy’s coverage. If you believe your claim was wrongfully denied, working with legal counsel can help you explore your options for appeal or negotiation.
A lawyer experienced in insurance law can assist by reviewing your policy, identifying any violations by the insurance company, gathering the necessary documentation, and negotiating on your behalf. If the denial was unjustified, a lawyer could help file an appeal or pursue legal action against the insurer to secure the compensation you deserve.
Yes, there are often strict deadlines for appealing a denied insurance claim. These deadlines can vary depending on the type of insurance policy and the reason for denial. It’s important to review your policy to understand the timeframe within which you need to file an appeal. Consulting with a lawyer early on can help ensure you meet all necessary deadlines.
