When to Hire an Insurance Lawyer

It can be difficult to know when to seek help with an insurance claim issue. Insurance companies use numerous tactics to shut down policyholders and convince you that you are not owed any benefits. It’s important that you are well-informed of your own rights, as well as the benefits outlined in your specific policy.

However, in some cases, it is to your best benefit to seek the assistance of an experienced insurance litigation attorney. Knowing your rights is one thing; advocating for yourself against a large, powerful insurance company is another, especially when you are already dealing with a serious disability, damage to your home, or the loss of a loved one.

It may be wise to hire an insurance lawyer if:

  • You need help obtaining medical treatment
  • You are having trouble getting employment benefits
  • Fault could be disputed
  • You have suffered a significant/large loss
  • The insurance adjuster is disputing your claim
  • You and the insurance adjuster do not see eye-to-eye
  • Your insurer is arguing that your losses are not covered
  • Your insurance claim has been denied
  • You wish to appeal a denied claim

Generally speaking, the earlier you seek the assistance of an attorney, the better. But even if your claim has progressed, our team can still help. We are ready to fight to ensure your rights are protected and your best interests are kept at the forefront of your case.

Recent Trial Verdicts

Recent Trial Verdicts

Kantor & Kantor obtained successful outcomes for our clients who had the following disabling conditions:

Fibromyalgia and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Hartford had denied the claim, stating that our client’s cognitive deficits were manufactured and that she could perform her own occupation, which required engineer-type skills. Among other things, Hartford relied upon a doctor who did not believe in the disabling potential of Fibromyalgia. In its decision for our client, the Court stated that Hartford’s medical evidence was not credible because its physician did not accept Fibromyalgia as a potentially disabling condition.

Orthopedic Back Injury/Arthritis

Our client suffered from a degenerative back condition, which made it difficult for her to sit for long periods of time. Cigna denied the claim, forcing our client to litigate to obtain the benefits to which she deserved. The Court found in favor of our client, holding that Cigna’s physicians engaged in a selective review of the medical records. An insurance carrier is required to consider all of the evidence; not just that which favors its financial interests.

Seizure Disorder

Hartford improperly terminated our client’s benefits, after he had been on claim for almost 20 years, while still suffering from breakthrough convulsions. The Court held that the isolated evidence that Hartford relied upon to support its claim termination was insufficient to support its contrary conclusion.
