Health, Disability, Auto, Homeowners and Life Insurance claims
Insurance companies can be difficult to deal with. Despite their public goal of providing you financial protection in case of specific loss due to accident or otherwise, their obligation is to ensure paying out the minimal reward possible, to protect the investment paid by other policy holders.
For the most part, insurance can be as minimal as catastrophic coverage, such as tree damage to your house during a storm, to routine payments of regularly scheduled activities, such as annual health check-ups.
Insurance companies follow a standard process in paying these claims, but sometimes, they may make mistakes, slow down payments, or wrongfully deny claims altogether. The Law Offices of Paul Gertz, P.C, has significant experience in investigating the cause of non-payment of claims and will seek to ensure that the payment you are entitled to gets paid.
