Navigating Denied Life Insurance Claims: Top Reasons for Denials and How to Fight Back

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences that anyone can face. Especially when it happens unexpectedly. Unfortunately, the situation can be stressful when the life insurance claim that should provide financial support is denied. If you are facing a denied life insurance claim, you may feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. When a life insurance claim is denied, it can be devastating. It may seem like there is no other option but to give up. However, you do have options, and the Law Offices of Jason Turchin is here to help navigate through this difficult time. If your claim has been denied, it is crucial to understand the specific reason cited by the insurance company. This information can help you to determine your next steps.

There are many reasons why a life insurance claim may be denied. Some of the most common include:

1. Misrepresentation on the application

2. When applying for a life insurance policy, it is essential to provide accurate information about your medical history, lifestyle, and other relevant factors. If the insurance company later discovers that any of the information provided was untrue or incomplete, they may deny the claim.

3. Failure to pay premiums.

4. If the policyholder fails to pay the premiums required by the policy, the insurance company may have grounds to deny the claim.

5. Exclusions in the policy.

6. Some life insurance policies contain exclusions that limit the coverage provided. For example, a policy may exclude coverage for deaths resulting from specific activities, such as skydiving or scuba diving.

7. Death occurred during the contestability period.

8. Most life insurance policies include a contestability period during which the insurance company can investigate any claims and potentially deny them. The contestability period usually lasts for two years from the date the policy was issued.

If you have received a denial of your life insurance claim, it is essential to act quickly. The first step is to carefully review the denial letter and understand the specific reasons cited for the denial. This information can help to formulate a plan of action to fight the decision.

Having an attorney can help gather the evidence and documentation necessary to build a strong case for your claim. They can also negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and represent you in any legal proceedings that may be necessary.
