Real Help Navigating the Minefield of Insurance Claim Procedures
People commonly carry various forms of insurance coverage for many years without suffering a loss that requires them to file a claim. They do so out of financial necessity and for the peace of mind insurance provides, generally untroubled by the complex, confusing language of their policies and the devastating possibility that when they do need coverage it may be denied.
After an injury-causing accident, the discovery of storm damage or sinkhole damage to your property, or any other adverse event, the filing of your insurance claim can be an absolutely critical step for your financial stability and future well being. Insurance companies routinely leverage missed deadlines, omissions of information or other frequent errors — all very understandable in a time of great stress — to deny your claim outright or minimize the settlement you can receive.
For Any Substantial Claim, an Attorney's Knowledge and Guidance Can Be Critical
You do not have to take these risks with a high-value insurance claim. Instead, we encourage you to contact a lawyer with extensive knowledge of insurance law, reasons for claim denials and delays, and insurance bad faith.
While taking prompt action and exercising care in all aspects of the claims process may well earn the results you want with a moderate claim — for car repairs only after an auto accident, for example — more significant insurance claims call for disciplined analysis and handling of issues such as:
- The date of loss and your reporting of that loss
- Inclusion and characterization of any pre-existing damage or conditions that could impact coverage and payment of your claim
- Interaction with adjusters and other insurance company representatives throughout the appraisal process or necessary steps in evaluating your injury or disability benefits claim
