What Does Accident Insurance Cover?

As the name implies, accident insurance typically covers expenses that arise due to an injury from an accident. This can include but is not limited to medical bills, hospital stays, and sometimes a fraction of lost income if the injury leads to time off work. Keep in mind that the specifics of the coverage can vary depending on the policy. To determine the exact expenses or damages you may be able to recover, it’s important to understand the terms of that particular insurance plan.

That said, we also understand that it can be challenging to figure out everything by yourself. That’s why we have a team of experts whose only job is to deal with insurance claims and determine whether an injured party may be entitled to compensation. If that’s what you need, please tell us about your case today. An accident insurance expert will review it for free.

Why Do Insurance Companies Deny Claims?

Insurance is business. For this reason, some of these companies only care about profits than doing the right thing. Other times, it’s usually because the claimant made mistakes somewhere down the road while filing a claim. 

To give you perspective, common causes of insurance claim denial include:

• discrepancies or inaccuracies in the claim;
• lack of evidence to support the claim;
• the incident not being covered under the policy terms; 
• the claim exceeding policy limits; 
• suspicion of fraud; or 
• if the policyholder failed to pay premiums, leading to a lapse in coverage.

If you believe your insurance company was unjustified by denying your claim, we are more than willing to review your case for free. 

Can the Insurance Company Deny My Claim Without Any Reason?

Insurance companies are legally required to provide a valid reason for denying a claim. They just can’t fail to compensate you without caring to explain why. Denying a claim without reason is against insurance regulations, warranting a bad faith insurance claim against the company involved.

What Damages Can I Recover If My Insurance Company Acted in Bad Faith?
