Are You In an Insurance Dispute?
A La Crosse Attorney Can Help
The physical, psychological and financial difficulties following an accident can leave you shattered. The last thing you need during trying times is to deal with an uncooperative insurance company. The point of insurance is to provide protection for those occasions when accidents occur. Nevertheless, the sad reality is that insurance companies are large corporations that often seek to protect their bottom line by denying their customers compensation they seek.
There are many different types of insurance policies for which we purchase coverage. After an accident, there may be a dispute between the insurance carrier and the policyholder. In addition to denial of medical claims following an accident or other injury, coverage disputes can arise under:
- life insurance policies
- business insurance policies
- homeowners insurance policies
Your insurance policy is a legally binding contract between you and your insurer. You live up to your end by paying the monthly premiums, but when it comes time to pay, insurance carriers may look at exclusions in the agreement or take an expansive view of preexisting conditions. Often the language of the policy is ambiguous, and attorneys working for the insurance companies rely on these ambiguities to deny coverage.
