Why Sarasota Insurance Companies Deny Home Claims
Insurance companies can deny homeowner claims for a plethora of reasons. Some of the most common reasons for denying homeowner insurance claims include:
- Policy limitations and named exclusions
- Lack of coverage or coverage from a separate policy
- Allegations or suspicion of fraud
- Your claim was not filed within the allotted time
- You did not take steps to avoid worsening damage
- Your compensation request exceeds your policy maximum
Sometimes, home insurance claims can be denied due to human error, including typos and errors of omission. Human error can also occur on the insurer’s side, including typos, incorrect coding, and mixing up policies.
Our Lawyers Can Protect You From Bad Faith Insurance Practices
Florida’s Department of Financial Services requires insurance companies to act in good faith while investigating your claim. You could be a victim of an unscrupulous insurance company if any of the following apply to your claim:
- Failure to legitimately investigate your claim
- Creating intentional and unwarranted delays
- Paying or denying a claim without written notice
- Delaying payment of a valid homeowner claim
Florida Statutes § 624.155 defines all of these actions as bad faith. Our lawyers will help you take legal action and seek additional compensation for these insurance company violations.
