Insurance Claims Lawyer

Documentation

First, your assigned legal team will ask to see a complete copy of your insurance policy. If you don’t already have this, you can request it from your broker or insurance company. Next, your team will contact your insurance company to determine the status of your claim.

These items will help your team understand the basis of your claim and if there is grounds for further investigation and legal action.

Investigation

Your attorney and their support staff will dig into the details of your policy investigate the circumstances surrounding whatever damage or triggering event that caused you to file a claim.

In this stage, we are gathering the evidence we need to support legal action.

Negotiation

Your attorney will file suit against the insurance company. This does not guarantee a trial; negotiation with the insurance company is also possible.

Unfortunately, insurance companies often interpret and manipulate the language in their policies to minimize or deny valid claims. Insurance providers have a significant self-interest to protect their cash reserves and to avoid payouts to policyholders. When an insurance company denies or undervalues a claim, they may allege that:

The loss is excluded from the policy.

The damages are less than what the insured is claiming, or falls below the policy deductible.

The insurance company’s “independent experts” or “independent adjusters” have determined that no covered loss occurred or is excluded from the policy.
