How to Appeal a Car Insurance Decision in Miami

How to Appeal a Car Insurance Decision in Miami

Understanding Car Insurance Claim Denials

When your car insurance claim is denied in Miami, it can feel like a major setback, but it's important to remember that this decision is not final. You have the option to appeal, and with the right legal guidance from a Morgan & Morgan insurance dispute attorney in Miami, you can challenge the denial effectively.

Common Reasons for Denial

Insurance companies operate on a profit motive and will look for any reason to deny a claim. Common justifications include:

  • Questionable Injuries: Claims that injuries were pre-existing or not related to the claimed accident.
  • Disputed Liability: Insufficient evidence about the accident’s circumstances.
  • Skipped Payments: Lapses in premium payments may lead to denied claims, though some policies allow for deferred payments.
  • Limited Coverage: Issues with the extent of coverage, especially in no-fault states like Florida where Personal Injury Protection (PIP) limits may cap recoverable amounts.
  • Baseless Denials: Sometimes claims are denied without a solid basis, particularly if the insurer believes the claimant lacks legal support.

Appealing an insurance decision without professional legal help can be daunting and is less likely to succeed. Here’s how Morgan & Morgan can assist you in appealing your car insurance decision:
