Hear From The Clients We’ve Fought For

Not All Denials Are Legitimate. Here’s What to Know

Life insurance companies in New Jersey and across the U.S. deny life insurance claims for many different reasons. Some involve valid coverage issues, while others stem from aggressive interpretations of policy terms or claim handling.

Common Reasons Claims Are Denied

  • Inaccurate or incomplete application information
  • Lapsed coverage due to missed premiums
  • Suicide or self-inflicted injury exclusions
  • Beneficiary disputes
  • Contestability period reviews

When a Denial May Involve Bad Faith

  • Unexplained or unreasonable delays
  • Misstating or misapplying policy terms
  • Ignoring medical evidence
  • Rescinding coverage after a claim is filed

Whether your claim involves a standard dispute or potential bad faith, our life insurance attorneys can evaluate your case and pursue the full benefit owed.

How We Take On Insurance Companies and Win

Most life insurance claims are straightforward, with payment issued shortly after the claim is submitted. When a claim is delayed or denied, it becomes a legal issue that requires a clear strategy.

Here’s how we move your case forward:

Review the Denial

We analyze the policy, claim file, and denial letter to identify errors and weaknesses.

1

Build the Appeal

We prepare a comprehensive appeal supported by medical records, documentation, and legal arguments.

2

Pursue Payment

We negotiate with the insurer and, when necessary, file suit to recover your benefits.

3

Life insurance appeals have strict deadlines, so acting early helps protect your rights.

You Pay Nothing Unless We Win

We handle life insurance disputes on a contingency basis. That means no upfront costs and no hourly billing. You only pay if we recover benefits for you.

If your claim has been denied or delayed, there’s no risk in having our attorneys review your case.

Insurance Companies Protect Themselves, We Protect You

After a loss, you shouldn’t have to deal with pushback from an insurance company. If your life insurance claim is denied or delayed, we step in and take over.

We handle the process from start to finish, including:

  • Reviewing your policy to confirm what’s owed
  • Breaking down the denial and identifying weak points
  • Analyzing applications, medical records, and claim documents
  • Gathering additional evidence to strengthen your case
  • Managing all communication with the insurer
  • Preparing and submitting a detailed appeal
  • Pursuing full payment through negotiation or litigation

Insurance companies focus on limiting payouts. We focus on getting you paid.

Questions You Might Be Asking Right Now

Can a spouse contest a life insurance beneficiary?

Yes. Divorce, remarriage, or outdated beneficiary designations can create conflicts over who is entitled to the benefit. If an ex-spouse or another party is claiming the payout, a life insurance attorney can help assert and protect your rights.

Can a life insurance claim be paid if the policy lapsed?

Sometimes. Certain policies include grace periods, disability waivers, or other provisions that may keep coverage active. A lapse does not automatically mean the claim is invalid.

Can a last-minute insurance beneficiary change be contested?

Yes. If a beneficiary change was made due to pressure, fraud, or diminished mental capacity, it may be challenged and potentially overturned.

Can a beneficiary be changed after the policyholder’s death?

No. Beneficiary designations must be finalized while the policyholder is alive. Any changes made after death should be viewed with suspicion and reviewed immediately.
