FIRE INSURANCE DENIALS

Insurance Claim Denials / Fire Insurance Denials

Fire insurance is used to cover damage to a property caused by fire. It is a “peace of mind” contract designed to cover the cost of replacement, reconstruction or repair of property affected by fire damage.

The contract or policy will set out several definitions and terms. Contractual definitions and terms are almost always open to interpretation.

Most of these denials involve disputes over allegations of misrepresentation, non-payment of premiums, and exclusion clauses.

Our insurance denial lawyers have successfully resolved denied claims by bringing forth the evidence required to resolve disputes over fire insurance denials.

Even in circumstances where the insurance company permits you to appeal the decision, it is still important to seek legal advice from an insurance denial lawyer for the following reason:

YOU ONLY HAVE A LIMITED TIME WITHIN WHICH TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. THIS IS CALLED A LIMITATION PERIOD. WHEN THE TIME LIMIT BEGINS TO RUN WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR CASE.

Time limits are not the same for every policy and every circumstance and that is why it is essential to get legal advice to know what time limits apply in your particular circumstance.

If an insurer has wrongfully denied you benefits, you may have no alternative but to take legal action.
