What Steps Should You Take After A Claim Denial?

There are many things that can be important to do in response to a disaster claim denial or underpayment, including:

  • Review the reasons the insurer gave for the denial/underpayment
  • If the reasons are unclear, reach out to the insurer for clarification
  • Review your insurance policy
  • Gather documentation and evidence regarding your claim
  • If you wish to appeal the decision, contact the insurer to start the internal process
  • If the insurer’s internal appeal process doesn’t lead to a reversal, explore your options for bringing a lawsuit

Promptly reaching out to a skilled property damage insurance claim lawyer can also be critical. The flood/fire damage claim lawyer at The Law Offices of Geoffrey D. Ittleman can help you assess your options and assist you with every step of contesting a denial.

  • Photos and videos of the damage
  • Records of communication with the insurer
  • Witness testimony
  • Repair estimates
  • Expert reports
