How an Insurance Attorney Can Help
Our experienced insurance attorneys spent the early days of our careers working for businesses and insurance companies.
This experience with insurance company disputes gives us insight into how insurance companies work, including strategies they use to deny claims.
We counter these unfair tactics with legal advocacy that attempts to get you a maximum insurance settlement.
Our law firm employs talented investigators who will uncover all possible evidence.
We use this evidence to support your insurance claim dispute.
Since your insurance company must maintain a duty of “good faith and fair dealing,” we point out where they are acting unfairly.
Then our New Orleans insurance attorneys negotiate with the insurance company for your maximum compensation.
What Documents to Bring to Your Attorney
When you meet with one of our New Orleans insurance attorneys for a free consultation, bring any evidence to dispute your insurance claim denial.
To prove that your insurance claim is valid, you should bring the following relevant documents:
- Your insurance policy,
- Photos of the damage,
- Medical bills,
- Pay stubs,
- Property repair invoices,
- Emails or text messages from your insurance company,
- Letters from your insurance company,
- Notes from phone conversations with your insurance company,
- Police reports, and
- Names and contact information for witnesses.
If you don’t have some of these relevant documents, our experienced investigators can attempt to access them.
Our law firm will collect all essential information to dispute your insurance claim denial and argue for your maximum payment.
What Information to Provide to the Attorney
Along with documentation, you should give your insurance attorney a statement describing your experience.
Your attorney needs as much fact-specific information as possible.
Keeping in mind the “W” questions of journalism can guide you to a complete description of events:
- When did the incident occur?
- Where did the accident happen?
- What caused the incident?
- Who witnessed the accident?
- What damage resulted from the incident?
- Why did the insurance company deny your claim?
It’s best to speak to an insurance attorney before you give a statement to the insurance company.
You may feel overwhelmed after an accident or property damage experience, so it can be difficult to provide a complete account of your experience.
An attorney can help you think of all the relevant information before you speak to the insurance company.
