Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive Years

If your insurance claim was denied, you are not alone and it does not mean your case is over.

Insurance companies deny valid claims every day. They are not looking for reasons to pay you. They are looking for reasons not to. Common technicalities they use to justify a denial include gaps in medical treatment, recorded statements that can be taken out of context, and insufficient documentation. Even when their own insured is clearly at fault, insurers will look for any opening to reduce or eliminate what they owe you.

What are the most common reasons insurance claims get denied in Florida?

Gaps in treatment, recorded statements, and lack of documentation are among the most frequent reasons insurers use to deny otherwise valid claims.

A denial does not mean your case is over. In many situations, once an experienced legal team steps in and properly presents the evidence, the outcome changes.
