Life Insurance Claim Denials; What You Can Do

The Center for Life Insurance Disputes. When a life insurance claim is denied by the insurer the beneficiary will receive a letter stating the reason for the claim denial. The information in this letter is important. While most people believe their life insurance death claim will be paid, many life insurance claims are denied. In fact nearly one-billion dollars of death claims are denied each year. In many instances the denial of a life insurance death benefit is nothing more than a bluff by the insurer. It may be an annoyance, but a bluff none-the-less. Insurance companies want to keep as much money as possible and so they deny death claims and make it as difficult as possible for beneficiaries to collect their life insurance claims. So what can you do if your life insurance claim is denied?

You can appeal the life insurance claim denial. When you appeal the death claim denial you must present substantiation for why the claim should be paid. You will refer back to the life insurance claim denial letter, and document your reasons why the insurer should reconsider their decision. Stating your personal opinion will not get your life insurance claim paid. The insurance company is not interested in your opinion, they will only be interested in material facts that substantiate the appeal of your death benefit claim. You must present your argument in writing, document everything, and submit it to the appeal committee. Many factors, that they will never disclose to you, will be considered by the life insurance company for your life insurance claim appeal.

Another option for a denied life insurance claim is to hire an attorney who specializes in bad faith litigation and file a lawsuit against the insurer for wrongful claim denial. Many bad faith attorneys will review the facts of your denied life insurance claim and accept your case on a contingency basis. This means you will not have to pay any money to the attorney unless they successfully litigate your denied life insurance claim. If they are successful in getting your claim paid you will have to pay the attorney 30% to 40% of the death benefit claim. This must be considered when deciding wether or not to hire an attorney for your life insurance claim denial.
