JEWELRY INSURANCE CLAIMS

 

WHAT IS A JEWELRY INSURANCE CLAIM?

At The Murray Law Group, we comprehend the sentimental and financial value of your jewelry. When these items are stolen, lost or damaged, the impact is often immeasurable. Insurance policies are meant to protect you from such losses, but insurance companies often attempt to minimize or deny claims to protect their bottom line.

With over 50 years of insurance claim experience under our belt, we fight for your right to receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to under your insurance policy.

  2. Retain an attorney or a representative to work on your behalf: Seek the help of a professional to represent your interests and guide you through the process.
  3. Gather documentation: Collect any available documentation, such as receipts, appraisals, and photographs, of your jewelry pieces. This information can be crucial in the claims process.
  4. Cooperate with your insurance company: Provide any additional information they request during the claim process. This may include filling out forms, providing statements and providing access to damaged property.
  5. Keep records: Document all communication and interactions with your insurance company. This may be valuable evidence later on if a dispute arises.
  6. Seek a second opinion: If you believe the insurance company's evaluation of your claim is too low, consult with an independent appraiser or attorney for a second opinion.

JEWELRY INSURANCE CLAIM FAQS

Despite accepting premiums and issuing policies, it is not uncommon for insurance companies in Florida to deny coverage for claims. There are different reasons an insurance company may give for denying your claim, some may be valid while others are not. An insurance company may be engaging in bad faith insurance practices when denying valid claims — especially if they are denying claims in an effort to increase profits to the detriment of their policyholders.

Below is a list of reasons your insurance company may give you for denying your claim:

  • The claim was not filed timely
  • Lack of property insurance levels
  • Insufficient evidence to support payments
  • Lack of documentation provided
  • Policy exclusions limit coverage
  • Unpaid policy premiums

Although you may not have the ability to stop an insurance company from denying your claim outright, you can take steps to minimize the chances of a claim denial if you do the following:

  • File a claim right after the incident
  • Request a copy of your policy
  • Comply with the duties after loss section of the policy
  • Provide the documents and records requested
  • Take steps to protect the property and mitigate damage
  • Pay your premiums on time
  • Know what your policy covers and excludes
  • Engage professionals to represent your interests

Several factors are essential in selecting an insurance claim attorney. When choosing an attorney, you should hire someone who has experience and a good reputation in the legal community. Review online reviews to see what other clients are saying about the attorney’s services. You should consider the experience and expertise of the attorney handling the claim and how many trials and/or arbitrations the attorney has handled. All these factors are crucial to consider when hiring an attorney. Choose an attorney after careful consideration and after speaking with the actual attorney who will be assisting you.
