Sometimes accident claims can be denied because the insurance company evaluated the claim incorrectly. In this type of situation there are several steps you should take to appeal your claim: review the policy, renegotiate, appeal to the State Insurance Commissioner, and hire an insurance claim lawyer.
Review Policy
Review your insurance policy to ensure that you are understanding it correctly. It can be helpful to review your policy with a skilled attorney who can help interpret any policy limits that may be confusing.
Renegotiate
Write to the insurance company and identify where you believe they made a mistake and ask them to renegotiate their decision. Be sure to include any additional evidence you may have. If they refuse to negotiate with you and you still believe you have been wrongfully denied, you can move on to the next step.
State Insurance Commissioner
Appeal the company’s decision to the State Insurance Commissioner. You will need to write another letter detailing the same case that you have laid out for the insurance company. You will then we assigned a case number and a case investigator who will work to understand both your account and the insurance company’s before resolving your case.
Enlist an Attorney
Hire an insurance bad faith attorney. If you decide that you want to take your insurance company to court based on claims of bad faith, you should hire a skilled lawyer to represent you.
Insurance “Bad Faith” Claims
There are many regulations and statutes that limit the power of insurance companies to provide protection to policyholders like you. Our attorneys can help you assert your rights.
We will review your policy to determine if your contractual rights have been violated. If you have a basis for relief, we can seek the compensation you need by negotiation or, if necessary, by litigation. We have experience handling insurance bad faith claims, which are claims that seek to hold insurance companies responsible for the wrongful denial, delay, or payment of claims.
