Ways to Avoid Delays on Your Insurance Claim

Posted By Dick Law Firm || 26-Apr-2016

In a perfect world, insurance policyholders would submit a claim, the insurer would investigate the claim, and then promptly send the policyholder their payment upon approval. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Policyholders frequently encounter delays when trying to recover their entitled financial compensation. Insurance companies do not like to pay for claims and may likely make every effort to make receiving compensation as difficult as possible, including delaying payment in an effort to wear a policyholder down. We all know that time is money, therefore any delay in receiving compensation can have dire consequences. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to minimize your chances of experiencing delays in your compensation.

1. Be Honest

It is important you deal with your insurance company in good faith. Make an effort to provide them with the information they request in a prompt and accurate manner, as long as their requests are reasonable. Withholding information or being dishonest can not only cause them to delay your claim – it can also lead to an outright denial.

2. Be Persistent

Be sure to maintain frequent communication with your insurance provider and periodically check in on the status of your claim. If they think you have forgotten about your claim, they will have no sense of urgency to process your payment. Be patient, but be firm.

3. Communicate in Writing

Claims submitted in writing tend to be treated more seriously and also provide you with a record of your claim. This can be crucial later on when examining your communication history with your insurance provider.

4. Speak with a Supervisor

Do not be afraid to contact your insurance adjuster’s supervisor or other higher-up official regarding your claim. Reporting your issue to a person in power may sometimes accelerate the time it takes to process your claim.

5. Hire an Attorney

The best way to avoid a delayed claim is by submitting your claim with the assistance of a skilled insurance attorney. A lawyer can negotiate with your insurance company and cut through the associated red tape. Retaining legal assistance is especially important if you suspect you may be dealing with an instance of insurance bad faith.
