San Mateo County Life Insurance Claim Attorney

When a loved one passes, life insurance benefits can help offset funeral costs and other expenses while making sure your family is provided for. Unfortunately, insurance companies have a long track record of attempting to deny or dispute these claims. At Kantor & Kantor, LLP, we can help defend your rights in this situation. Our experienced San Mateo County life insurance claim attorneys provide compassionate, professional legal guidance you can count on to get the benefits you deserve.

Defending Your Rights in Life Insurance Claims

Dealing with the death of a loved one can be devastating. Unfortunately, having to contend with insurance companies in the aftermath does not make things any easier. According to reports from the California Department of Insurance, consumers have filed hundreds of complaints over the past several years against companies providing life insurance benefits throughout the state. In many cases, these cases involve situations in which a life insurance claim is denied or disputed.

At Kantor & Kantor, LLP, we act as a strong legal advocate on your side in these situations. Our San Mateo County life insurance claim attorneys know that these companies are big businesses and as such, their primary goal is making a profit. In addition to increasing premiums, reducing payouts on existing policies is a primary way for them to achieve this goal. Tactics they often use to avoid paying out life insurance benefits include:

• Denying the claim based on accusations that the insured violated the terms of the life insurance agreement, provided false information, or allowed the policy to lapse;
• Disputing the claim due to cause of death or the manner in which it occurred;
• Delaying payment based on claims that the survivors did not follow the proper procedures.

In these situations, our San Mateo County life insurance claim attorneys provide aggressive representation to help you get the benefits to which you are entitled. Depending on the situation, your rights may be protected under consumer laws or under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). In either case, we negotiate with insurers on your behalf, taking the legal steps needed to get your claim approved.
