« All FAQ About Rear-End Collisions

What if the insurance company denies my claim?

If you’ve been involved in a rear-end accident and filed a claim with the other driver’s insurance company, it can be incredibly frustrating to receive a denial letter. However, just because your claim was denied doesn’t mean you have no options. Here’s what you need to know if the insurance company denies your claim:

  1. Review the denial letter carefully: The insurance company should provide an explanation for why your claim was denied. Review the letter carefully to understand the reason for the denial.
  2. Understand your policy: Your insurance policy should outline what types of coverage you have and what situations are covered. Review your policy to determine if the denial was appropriate based on your coverage.
  3. Gather evidence: If you believe the denial was inappropriate, gather any evidence you have that supports your claim. This may include photos, witness statements, medical records, and police reports.
  4. Consult with an attorney: If you’re having difficulty with the insurance company, consider consulting with an attorney. They can help you understand your legal options and may be able to negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.
  5. File a lawsuit: If all else fails, you may need to file a lawsuit to recover the damages you’re entitled to. An attorney can help you understand the process and represent you in court.

It’s important to note that insurance companies may deny claims for a variety of reasons, including a lack of evidence, policy exclusions, or disputes about fault. If your claim is denied, don’t give up hope. With the help of an experienced attorney, you may still be able to recover the damages you’re entitled to.
