When a life insurance claim is delayed or denied, it can have a devastating effect on the beneficiaries of the deceased. In addition to coping with grief, loved ones must also engage in an insurance dispute.
If you have been the victim of insurance bad faith, contact my Austin, Texas, law firm today. I have 20 years of legal experience, and am prepared to advocate forcefully on your behalf.
Proving Your Claim
Like any successful business, insurance companies are seeking to maximize their profits and minimize their expenses. This desire often manifests itself in the form of denied claims. In attempts to avoid payment, insurers may point to several factors that support their decision, including:
- Policy exclusions: A common exclusion is suicide. In such cases, I will work relentlessly to prove your loved one's death was an accident. This may involve examining medical or accident records.
- Material misrepresentations: An insurance company can allege that the policyholder's age, medical status or other personal data was not reported, falsified or distorted at the time of application.
When you retain my services, I will work hard to help you receive the life insurance proceeds you deserve. I am a committed lawyer who will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your loved ones death and closely examine the provisions of your policy. If necessary, I will take your case to court.
