The lawyers at Danahy & Dunnavant, P.A., have represented numerous clients in life insurance disputes, whether it be an issue related to an improper cancellation or recission, improper denial, or contention by the insurance company that there was a mistake in the application that voids the policy.
When you lose a loved one, the last thing you want to think about is fighting tooth and nail with a multi-million or billion-dollar insurance company. A life insurance claim is something that should be simple and quickly paid. Sadly, beneficiaries of life insurance policies are wrongfully denied insurance benefits that they are rightfully owed often.
The State of Florida requires that life insurance policy benefits be collected within five years from the time of death, so the timing of the claim is crucial. Family members need to act quickly to file life insurance claims after losing a loved one.
Depending on the circumstances, your insurance company may deny your fire claim. There are other situations where the insurance company may try to pay a low-ball settlement offer on the claim, hoping that insureds who are in a desperate situation will just take the money and go away, even if it is not enough to make them whole under their policy.
In any case where you feel your claim is being handled unfairly because of a coverage denial or underpayment, you should speak with an experienced Florida insurance lawyer, such as the attorneys at Danahy & Dunnavant, P.A., as soon as possible.

Life Insurance
• Term life insurance: The policy owner pays a premium, and a designated beneficiary receives the face amount of the policy upon the insured’s death.
• Cash value life insurance: The policy owner invests money into a savings account that earns interest throughout the life of the insured. Upon the insured’s death, the policy pays the face value, including any accumulated interest.
