Why Was Your Claim Denied?

Insurance companies may deny claims for various reasons, some of them legitimate and some of them not. It is important that you understand the reason why your claim was denied – the insurance company is required to provide you with this information. Common reasons for claim denial include:

• Your losses were not covered under your policy;
• Your losses derived from an event or situation not covered under your policy;
• You contributed to your losses through negligence of your own; or
• Your claim does not meet the terms of the insurance contract in some way.

In addition to the above, there are many individuals and business owners who believe that the denial of their claim is not fair or legitimate. In some cases, an insurance company may engage in bad faith practices and deny a claim merely to save the insurance company money. If you believe that your claim has been unfairly denied, call our law firm immediately.

Steps to Take Immediately After Claim Denial

When an insurance claim is denied, it’s important that the policyholder understands why the claim was denied and, if unfair or bad faith practices are suspected, that the policyholder takes action immediately. Our attorneys strongly recommend reviewing the details of your policy, documenting all interactions you have with your insurer, making sure communications are in writing, and documenting as much as you can about the incident for which you filed a claim in the first place and the damages you have suffered. Then, you should call an attorney who can help you to understand your rights and options.
