Any Miami car accident lawyer knows that sometimes insurance companies don’t deal with claims in a fair way. Let’s say that you were in a car accident. After the accident, you followed up with your insurance and filed a claim to recover losses for your property and any injuries you sustained. It is possible that even though you were not at fault, your insurance could deny your auto accident claim.
What do you do when this happens? Here are a few things you should know.
Reasons for a Denied Claim
First, let’s talk about some of the legitimate reasons your car insurance provider can deny your claim.
- Suspicion of fraud. If your insurance provider thinks that you have filed a fraudulent claim, they will deny your claim. Sometimes, however, their suspicions are unfounded. It’s important to collect and save evidence from your accident for this reason.
- State law violations. Your insurance can and will deny your claim if you broke any state laws before or during the accident. Violations include driving under the influence, speeding, neglecting to follow posted traffic signs or signals, and other actions.
- Insurance policy violations. Every auto insurance policy contains rules that policyholders must follow. If you violate any of these rules, your insurance could deny your claim.
If you are denied a claim because of any of the above examples but think you are being treated unfairly, contact a Miami car accident lawyer as soon as possible.
What You Can Do
What can car insurance policyholders do if their claim is denied unnecessarily?
