Life insurance policies are meant to provide financial stability to family members after a loss. Unfortunately, insurance companies often find ways to refuse payment, deny benefits, or just pay a fraction of the benefits due under the policy. Insurance companies usually comb through paperwork to identify policy language that can be used to exploit technicalities to their benefit rather than yours. At times, a seemingly proper denial is actually improper under state of federal ERISA law.
Insurance companies are less likely to engage in underhanded tactics to deny claims with an experienced litigation attorney present. An experienced insurance litigation attorney can help hasten your recovery by making sure your claim is complete, accurate, and timely. They will ensure you meet the strict timelines during the appeals process and help you challenge any improper determinations. If the insurance company still denies your claim, your lawyer can file a lawsuit to force the insurance company to pay you your life insurance policy benefits along with a slew of other charges such as insurance bad faith damages, punitive damages, emotional distress damages, and even attorneys' fees and interest.
