WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AN INSURANCE DISPUTE IN FLORIDA
Insurance disputes arise for many reasons. Insurance companies wrongfully deny valid claims, unjustly close a claim, pay too little when claims are covered, and wrongfully reserve the right to deny claims in the future. Insurance companies hire lawyers to conduct Examinations Under Oath and request volumes of documents and other information. Some insurance companies file lawsuits against their own insureds.
When their buildings are damaged or personal property lost, policyholders often find themselves facing delayed claim adjustment, unreasonable requests for numerous documents, low offers and underpaid insurance claims, or insurance claims that are denied completely.
We represent policyholders against their own insurance companies, and seek coverage for damage to buildings and personal property, loss of use, additional living expenses, and lost business income.

WHEN SHOULD YOU CONTACT AN INSURANCE DISPUTE LAWYER?
When facing an insurance company that denied, underpaid, or unjustly closed your claim, you should take appropriate action.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CONTACT AN INSURANCE DISPUTE LAWYER?
When facing an insurance company that denied, underpaid, or unjustly closed your claim, you should take appropriate action.
Here are some instances when you should hire a lawyer who knows how to handle lowball insurance company tactics:
1) When Your Insurance Company Delays the Process
After a disaster, insurance companies may find themselves inundated with intense claims. While this large volume of claims can explain a delayed response or repayment, paying close attention to dates and more will keep you from being underpaid.
Having your attorney call and threaten litigation against the insurance company at hand will likely move them to act quicker—in both of your best interests.
2) When Your Claim is Denied
Insurance companies make mistakes and these are often the reason that a valid claim gets denied in Florida. Adjusters may misapply exclusions under your insurance policy, claiming that the damage done to you or your property was pre-existing, arising from neglect, poor maintenance, or other damage that is not covered by your policy.
Before submitting or disputing a claim, always double-check your policy to ensure the incident you’re making a claim for is covered. This will save a lot of trouble down the line!
3) When Your Claim is Underpaid
Just because your claim was approved doesn’t mean you’ll get the payout you expected. Unfortunately, this happens more often than not — insurance companies pay the minimum amount of damage on a submitted claim, despite the claimed damages being worth far more.
Accepting a settlement that’s worth less than you deserve ultimately benefits no one but your insurance company. If you feel the settlement offer they make is less than you need, you are not legally required to accept it. Even our talented team can’t contest a settlement offer that has been accepted.
