Once an insurance company has secured your monthly premium payment, it may seem like they are forever trying to avoid your calls for assistance or reimbursement. Smyth & Cioffi, LLP can help you secure payment from the insurance policy that you have faithfully paid toward over the years. When your insurance claim has been unfairly delayed or denied, our attorneys take action to help you secure the compensation you are legally entitled to in a court of law. The scope of our insurance bad faith practice encompasses:
1. Review your policy before filing a claim. There are many reasons why an insurance company may deny your claim, but most reasons relate to the scope of your insurance coverage. It is sometimes easier to turn over the paperwork to an insurance attorney in Raleigh to deal with, especially where the amount of the recovery justifies the cost of working with a lawyer.
2. Make sure your insurance company received your claim. Contact your insurance agent to learn more about the status of your claim. If it has been a few months, you may want to contact an insurance law firm who can help you speed the process along.
3. Contact an attorney as soon as you believe your claim has been unfairly delayed or denied. There are many reasons why an insurance company may refuse to pay. Often, only a Raleigh bad faith insurance lawyer who threatens the company with a lawsuit can get the insurance company to re-review the claim and come up with an offer to settle fairly.
