At Roxell Richards Law Firm, we know how stressful and overwhelming it can be when your valid insurance claim is denied. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping policyholders challenge unfair claim denials and secure the compensation they deserve.
Common Reasons for Denied Claims
Insurance companies can deny claims for several reasons, and it’s important to understand these to protect your rights. Here are some common reasons why claims might be denied:
- Incomplete or Incorrect Information: If the information you provided when filing your claim is missing or incorrect, the insurance company may deny your claim. This could include things like not providing all necessary documents or making mistakes in your application.
- Disputes Over Policy Coverage: Sometimes, the insurance company may argue that the damage or situation you are claiming is not covered by your policy. This can happen if there is confusion about what your policy includes or excludes.
- Accusations of Policyholder Negligence: If the insurance company believes that you were negligent or did not take proper care to prevent the damage or loss, they may deny your claim. For example, if they think you didn’t maintain your property properly, they might refuse to pay.
- Delayed Filing of Claims: Most insurance policies have a specific time frame within which you must file a claim after an incident occurs. If you wait too long to submit your claim, the insurance company may deny it based on this delay.
- Misinterpretation of Policy Terms: Sometimes, the insurance company may misinterpret the terms of your policy, leading to a denial. This can happen if there is ambiguity in the language of the policy or if the insurer does not fully understand the situation.
Understanding these reasons can help you be more prepared when dealing with your insurance company and ensure that you provide all necessary information to support your claim. If your claim is denied, it’s important to review the reasons carefully and consider seeking legal advice to explore your options.

Our Process

This may include collecting relevant documents, medical records, repair estimates, and witness statements.
