Delayed Disability Claims – What Your Insurance Company Doesn’t Want You to Know

Los Angeles Disability Insurance Claim Dispute Attorneys

California law holds insurance carriers to a high standard regarding the way they are required to conduct business, including the processing and payment of claims

Are you aware that you are entitled to a prompt response to your disability insurance claim? Have you already been waiting months? In the meantime, your disability has prevented you from working and earning a regular paycheck. Your bills have been piling up. You have been having more and more trouble putting food on the table. You wonder why the insurance company is taking so long. In reality, the delay is most likely intentional. The fact of the matter is that, not only does the delay allow them to keep their money in their bank accounts earning interest for them, it allows the pressure to build up on you, so when they make a low-ball offer, you are more likely to accept the underpaid claim out of desperation.

 

At Donahue & Horrow, LLP, we want you to know that you do not have to wait around for the insurance company. With more than 50 years of experience on our side and a team that features former insurance defense attorneys, we know how to deal with the insurance company’s delays. We will push them to pay your claim immediately.

 

Overcoming the Insurance Company’s Delay Tactics

Many people do not realize at first that they are being victimized by the insurance company. That is because delay tactics may look like legitimate requests. The insurance company may contact you and ask you to provide supporting evidence of your disability. This may seem reasonable, except that such evidence may be completely unnecessary. Similarly, the insurance company may ask you to see their doctor, which may not be necessary.

Sometimes, insurance companies take matters a step further, going so far as to accuse you of fraud. Our lawyers know how to fight through all of the delay tactics that insurance companies use and help you get the prompt payment you need.
