What Happens When Your Insurance Company Denies Your Personal Injury Claim
It’s easy to get lulled into a false sense of security with your insurance company. You purchase your policy and assume the provider will pay your personal injury claim if you’re ever involved in an automobile accident that meets all the necessary requirements. Orlando drivers can be caught off guard when their insurance company denies their claim. With the help of an Orlando car accident lawyer at Payer Law, we can help you identify why your claim was denied and possibly pursue action to help get you any compensation you may be entitled to receive.
Why Was My Personal Injury Claim Denied?
Many things can lead to the denial of a claim. It is important to determine what led to your claim being denied. The most common reasons are:
- The car accident was caused by your own actions. Distracted driving, texting while driving, or driving under the influence all could cause the insurance company to deny your claim.
- Your policy did not cover the insurance claim you made.
- Following the car accident, you didn’t seek medical attention in a timely manner.
- The insurance company believes your injury is caused by a pre-existing condition and is not a result of the automobile accident.
- Your policy did not have the driver listed as a named insured party.
- You had a lapse in coverage because you failed to pay your insurance premium.
- The damage or injury exceeds your policy’s limits.
- Your insurance claim is subject to “exclusions in the policy.” For example, if an act of God caused your car accident it may be considered an exclusion.
