When Do Clearwater Insurance Disputes Happen?

Insurance disputes in Clearwater can happen at any point when an insurance company and a claimant or policyholder disagree about an issue pertaining to the insurance policy or to the coverage.

The policyholder agrees to make premium payments according to a specific schedule and to take certain steps when filing a claim. An insurance company agrees to investigate any claims in a reasonable timeframe, to provide compensation for covered losses, and to detail any situations in which coverage is denied. If either party breaches the terms of the agreement, an insurance dispute can arise. Sometimes a breach of contract can be remedied easily if one of the parties unintentionally made a minor error. However, insurance disputes can become more complicated under other circumstances, especially in cases where the insurer has acted in bad faith.

Steps to Take in a Clearwater Insurance Dispute

Did you recently contact your insurance company to find out about coverage in Clearwater, or did you submit a claim only to have the claim denied outright? Or, did you receive a check from an insurance company for an amount that was significantly less than the value of your covered losses? If so, it is important to begin taking steps to preserve your right to coverage under the insurance policy and to ensure that the insurance company complies with the terms of the policy. Consider the following:

  • Begin working with an attorney as soon as possible to review the specific language contained in your insurance policy and any communications with the insurance company, and assess that language in relation to the insurer’s detailed reason for denying or undervaluing the claim;
  • Determine the reason for the dispute if possible, and consider whether your attorney may be able to resolve the dispute with the insurer (usually if the dispute arose from a mistake that can be cured);
  • Consider options for resolving the dispute, which may include demanding an insurance appraisal to get the value of your losses properly assigned, or initiating plans for bad faith litigation against the insurer.

Be certain that you work with an attorney to gather all evidence that is relevant to your insurance claim, including any documentation you have of the property prior to the damage and detailed images or videos of the property after the loss occurred.
