Denied Claims & Disputes: The Role of Our Plantation Insurance Lawyers
When a policyholder submits a claim to their insurance company – such as a car accident claim, house fire damage claim or a personal injury claim – they expect the company to act in good faith and honor their claim’s validity. Yet, it is all too common for insurance companies to deny a seemingly legitimate claim, many times without a plausible reason or explanation.
Many policyholders fail to realize that insurance companies make a greater profit if they deny their policyholders the ability to collect on the claims they submit. For this reason, some insurance companies consistently deny claims – no matter how valid they may actually be. Oftentimes, these companies will not honor a claim unless the policyholder takes legal action.

Do I Have a Bad Faith Claim Against My Insurance Company?
Unfortunately, insurance companies often manipulate the language in their policies to make them vague, confusing and easy to misinterpret. This is done in an attempt to facilitate the companies’ main priority, which is to protect their cash reserves and avoid paying policyholders’ claims.
When an insurance provider denies or undervalues a claim, they often site the following reasons:
- The insured individual has a policy that does not provide enough coverage for the specified claim
- The policyholder failed to pay their insurance premiums on time, which resulted in a lapse of coverage
- The injury or property damage falls outside the scope of coverage as defined by the policy
If an insurance company does not provide fair and unbiased service to a policyholder who has filed a claim, it has violated the implied contractual agreement to act in good faith. For this reason, many policyholders believe they can file a bad faith claim against their insurance provider if their claim has been denied. However, this is a common misconception, as it is often more likely that a policyholder can file a lawsuit against their insurer for unfair claim handling.
Unfair claim handling occurs when an insurance company tries to avoid paying for a valid claim, or if it reduces the amount of payout rightfully owed to a policyholder. Examples of unfair claims handling include:
- Fraudulent reporting, documenting or accounting on behalf of the insurer
- Intentionally misleading or deceiving a policyholder
- Neglecting or refusing to fulfill a verified contractual obligation
- Conscious wrongdoing that results in financial harm or loss to a policyholder
Because insurance claim disputes are complex, it is important to contact our Plantation law office to determine which type of lawsuit best fits your particular situation. Our Plantation insurance lawyers can help determine your best legal course of action to help ensure you are treated fairly and that you receive all monetary compensation owed to you.
