Your Claim Was Denied—Now What?
Property damage claim denials happen more often than you might think. Sometimes it’s due to missing information or a simple misunderstanding between you and your insurance provider. Other times, it’s a deliberate move by the insurance company to protect their bottom line. If your claim was denied, here’s how you can take action:
- Review Your Insurance Policy
Understand exactly what your policy covers and ensure you’re familiar with the details.
- Check the Denial Notice
Read the denial notice carefully. It should explain why your claim was denied. If you’re unsure, call your insurance provider for clarification.
- Gather Additional Evidence
Strengthen your case by collecting more documentation. Take clear, detailed photos from multiple angles and provide a thorough account of the events leading to the damage.
- Request an Independent Appraisal
If you disagree with the insurance company’s assessment, ask for an independent appraisal. Many insurance policies allow for this second opinion.
- Show Proof of Maintenance
Demonstrate that you’ve been maintaining your property properly to counter any claims of negligence.
- File an Appeal
Submit an appeal to your insurance company, including all additional documentation, and request a review of your claim.
- Contact the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation
If your appeal isn’t successful, you can file a complaint with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
- Consult an Attorney
Appealing a denied claim can be daunting and time-consuming. An experienced attorney can guide you through the process, leveraging their expertise to help you achieve a fair result.
