Insurance Claim Denials - Six Tricks to Watch Out For

As an attorney representing consumers in cases of insurance bad faith, I see some of the same claim denial tricks over and over again, and they work every time, unless the policyholder recognizes the scam and calls the bluff. Here are just a few:

1. Misrepresenting coverage. The company knows people accept orders from those in authority without question, just like they stop at stop signs without thinking twice. If the insurance company denies your claim, don't just take their word for it. Read the insurance policy. What counts is what the policy says, not what the insurance company says. You would be amazed at how often the two do not match up. 2. Using ambiguous policy language to deny the claim. Let's say you look at the policy, and the answer isn't really clear. Well, there is no jump ball in the insurance coverage game, because the law has a fix for that. If the policy language is ambiguous, (meaning that it can be interpreted in different ways) the law says it MUST be interpreted in your favor. But guess what: the company almost always does just the opposite, unless you know the rule and call them on it.

How to Find Low Cost Insurance for a Florida Coastal Home

Finding Florida home insurance can be a challenge for homes that are located in Florida inland counties. It is even harder to find coverage if your home is located near the Florida coast - especially in Florida’s southern coastal counties. If your home is located on or near the Florida coast, don’t despair. There are options for covering your coastal home if you know where to look.

Let’s face it. Finding affordable Florida home insurance is always a challenge in most parts of the state. Especially since most national companies no longer write homeowners insurance policies here. At the present time only 40 companies out of over 400 companies licensed to write home insurance are still writing new business in Florida.

Awareness Regarding Auto Insurances

Each and every vehicle is now days insured, whether it is a commercial vehicle or a private car etc. Those who have commercial vehicles usually use their insurances in a better way as they are more aware of their rights and the facilities available to them whereas people using private vehicle are not as much aware as they should be and because of this only they do not get their rights.

Almost every person using a private car or any other vehicle buy insurance just to meet the legal requirements as they think they don’t need it. And also they feel that all the money they are spending in insurance is actually a waste. The reason that why do they think so is because they are not aware of the rights and the services which one actually get through auto insurances.

All types of HGV vehicles can be offered competitive rates for their
insurance. Many insurance companies will provide cover for HGVs which travel
abroad.

 

If you require a vehicle to be insured for travelling abroad this should
be mentioned at the quotation stage. For those who have an existing policy
which does not provide this cover the insurance company should be contacted as
a matter of urgency. In other words, prior to departure from the UK to enable
the insurers to amend the policy accordingly.
