While there are legitimate reasons why a claim may be denied, the reasons insurance companies provide you with may be irrelevant, untrue, or vague. Understanding the common excuses for claim denials can help you determine if your insurance provider is acting in <a href=\"\/Bad-Faith-Insurance\/\">bad faith<\/a> and wrongfully denying your claim.<\/p>\n<div class=\"av-special-heading av-special-heading-h5 blockquote modern-quote avia-builder-el-10 el_after_av_textblock el_before_av_textblock \">\n<h3 class=\"av-special-heading-tag\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">An insurance provider will often deny a claim due to the following circumstances:<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Coverage has expired or lapsed<\/li>\n<li>Claim contains incorrect or missing information<\/li>\n<li>The damage is a policy exclusion<\/li>\n<li>Homeowner&#8217;s lack of immediate action<\/li>\n<li>Homeowner&#8217;s failure to take necessary precautions<\/li>\n<li>Damage existed before claimed incident<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These denials can be a result of misinterpretation by an adjuster, mistake or negligence of an agent, or technicalities and simple human error. No matter the cause, the reason for an insurance claim denial must be justified, or else the provider is acting in bad faith and should be held accountable.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">What to Do Next<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether a consequence of honest mistakes and agent errors, or a result of intentional misconduct and bad faith actions of an insurance provider, you should never accept a wrongful claim denial. We are committed to helping you take any and all necessary actions to hold your provider accountable for providing the benefits you deserve.<\/p>\n<div class=\"av-special-heading av-special-heading-h5 blockquote modern-quote avia-builder-el-16 el_after_av_textblock el_before_av_textblock \">\n<h3 class=\"av-special-heading-tag\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We can help you take the following steps to fight wrongful denials:<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Interpret the claim denial<\/strong> \u2013 the legal jargon and wording can often be convoluted and difficult to read.
