We also recently handled a claim where the policy holder had insured a Porsche with his insurance company, the Porsche was stolen, the insurance company refused to pay the claim and attempted to rescind the policy, the policy holder had been to three attorneys prior to coming to our office. In that case there was very outrageous conduct involved. We have had many cases where a policy holder comes to our office for any number of reasons, either they have a policy of insurance that is supposed to provide health insurance and their insurance company is refusing to provide treatment they need for cancer or they've had surgery and their insurance company claims that they had a preexisting condition and they are refusing to pay for this surgery, or they claim that they misrepresented something in the application and are canceling their insurance and refusing to pay for treatment that the policy holder has had, or any other number of reasons involving first party claims. Many times we've been successful in getting insurance companies to act reasonably and pay the benefits after merely a letter or two. When the insurance company has not acted reasonably, on many of those cases when we believe the policy holder's claim has been unreasonably delayed, unreasonably denied, or unreasonably handled, we have pursued the claim in behalf of the policy holder and on many occasions we recovered benefits owed to the policy holder plus substantial additional amounts for the insurance company's unreasonable handling of the claim.
Every claim is different.
Many times an insurance company's position is reasonable and denial of the claim was justified. However, if you are having a problem with an insurance company on a first party claim and you would like more specific advice or believe that you need help in dealing with the claim, please feel free to contact our office for a free consultation. Please let our staff know you obtained our name through the Free Legal Guide at the Reader and ask to speak directly with one of the attorneys to discuss your legal problem.
