Most business and personal insurance policy holders in San Diego and Southern California don’t know what to do when your insurance company denies a valid claim. Unfortunately, Insurance companies throughout the region have become much more aggressive on making low original settlement offers or outright rejection of valid policy claims. There are times when you need an experienced insurance denial attorney at the Watkins Firm to review the situation and work to make things right.
California has High Standards for Insurance Companies and How They Handle a Claim
If you have paid your premiums and have a valid policy every insurance company in the State of California is required to handle your claims in a professional manner including:
- Processing your application in a timely manner
- Providing a fair and reasonable settlement on all valid policy claims
- Provide specific reasons, in writing, for all declined claims in a timely manner
What action should you take if a claim is denied? You may only have a few weeks to take action to appeal the decision and hold your insurance company accountable.
