Life Insurance Claims Lawyer
San Francisco Life Insurance Claims Attorney Representing California and National Clients
Denial Of Life Insurance Benefits Can Be Devastating. We Can Help.
We purchase life insurance to protect and provide for those we love should we one day be unable to do so ourselves. After the death of a policyholder, the beneficiaries of a life insurance policy may suffer another loss that can be financially devastating. The life insurance company may deny or dispute payment of the life insurance policy.
Are you involved in a life insurance coverage dispute or claim denial in California? Did the insurance company rescind the policy or argue that the coverage lapsed? Don’t take “No” for an answer without first speaking to an attorney at Pillsbury & Coleman, LLP, who is dedicated to protecting the rights of life insurance policyholders and their beneficiaries.
An Incentive To Deny
Because they make more money when they deny claims, insurance companies often look for any opportunity to delay or deny life insurance coverage. They may accuse the deceased policyholder of fraud or misrepresentation, examine the application in an attempt to retroactively rescind or cancel the policy, or look for improper policy exclusions that would allow them to deny the claim.
In some cases, insurance agents or brokers misrepresent the facts on an application, either accidentally or sometimes just so they can make a sale. If a negligent agent or broker is responsible for your life insurance coverage dispute, we can help.
