Your Situation May Need Professional Assistance If:

  • Your insurance company wrongfully denied a claim;
  • Your insurance company undervalued your claim;
  • Your insurance company delayed your claim in bad faith;
  • Your insurance broker failed to fully review your coverage needs;
  • Your insurance broker failed to arrange coverage resulting in an uninsured loss; or
  • Your premiums or deductibles unjustly increased.
