Coverage Disputes

Insurance adjusters have a legal obligation to deny your non covered claims. Most adjusters usually deny your claim with without any concrete merit, fact, or law. We strongly recommend you call us, so that we can review the facts of your claim in detail in distinguishing a valid justification in denying your claim. If we fee that your claim was denied without proper merit, then our offices will file a suit on your behalf. For example, coverage disputes commonly arise when the insurance company says there is no coverage due to the following reasons: Mirepresentation in the application – Absence of wind damages – Absence of flood coverage – Fraud or misrepresentation with regard to presentation of the claim – Claim value is overly inflated – Wear and Tear, pre-existing damage-Allegations that the damage resulted from inadequate maintenance or from lack of maintenance – Allegations that the claim was reported too late and that the insurer’s investigation is therefore prejudiced.

INSUFFICIENTLY PAID FOR YOUR CLAIM:
As mentioned before, your insurance company reserves the right to deny your insurance claim for damage sustained to your property. However, your insurance company may insufficiently pay you for your claim. Its common practice for the insurance adjuster to minimize payment for your damages. Here at the law offices of Darren y. Zipris, we strive to make client whole by procuring sufficient funds from the insurer to the insured that will result in the homeowner having adequate funds to repair their house as it was before the incident occurred.
