Filing an Insurance Claim
The first step in the process is usually to file a Proof of Loss form with your insurer. This document itemizes all of the damages that you are claiming and provides an estimate of the cost to repair or replace each item. Once you have filed this form, your insurer will have 60 days to acknowledge your claim and tell you whether it has been accepted or denied.
If your claim is accepted, your insurer will send you a check for your coverage amount. If your claim is denied, the insurer will send you a letter explaining why. At this point, you can either try to negotiate with the insurer to get them to cover your damages or file a lawsuit against the insurer if you believe that they have wrongfully denied your claim.
What an Attorney Can Do For You
While you are not required to have an attorney to file an insurance claim, having one can be very helpful. Your attorney will be able to review your policy and any denial letters from the insurer to determine if they have acted in bad faith or violated the terms of your policy. If so, your lawyer can help you file a lawsuit against the insurer.
Your attorney can also help you gather evidence to support your claim, such as repair estimates, receipts, and pictures of the damage. An attorney can also negotiate with the insurer on your behalf to try to get them to cover your damages.
Working with an experienced legal professional gives you access to their real-world understanding of how this process works and what you are entitled to seek compensation for. Plus, you will have someone advocating for you while you focus on putting your life back together.
