7 attorneys in Chicago represent policyholders against insurance companies — denied and underpaid property claims, storm, fire and water damage, business interruption, life and disability policies and uninsured motorist claims.
Keep the denial letter and every piece of correspondence. Insurers must generally state the policy basis for refusing a claim, and that stated basis becomes the battleground.
Watch the deadlines written into the policy itself — they are often shorter than the ordinary limitation period for contracts — and ask whether your state allows attorney fees to be recovered from the insurer.
