Why Are Business Loss Insurance Claims Denied?

As a small business, the reason you buy insurance is to protect your business in the event of a financial disaster that can ruin your life’s work. When disaster strikes, you rely upon the insurance that you purchased to protect your investment. If your insurance claim is denied, the insurance company is required to provide an explanation.  But, often the reason provided for the claim denial is inaccurate or illegal. When that happens, you need to seek counsel to protect yourself. Call Saxton Law Firm.

Here is a look at the five primary reasons why your business loss insurance claim may be denied:

• Underinsured – When you purchase an insurance policy for your business, it is important to have a policy that will cover everything your business entails. When your policy does not cover specific elements of the business, it may be grounds for a denied claim.
• Delayed Claim – When your business faces a serious loss, your insurance policy may impose certain timelines. It’s important to file a business loss claim in as soon as possible. However, if your claim is being denied based on a delay in reporting the claim, call Saxton Law Firm, we can help.
• Out-of-Date Information – All businesses grow and so has yours. It’s important to keep your insurance policy updated with new information.
• Insufficient Documentation of Damage –  In the event that your business suffers a loss, it is important to photograph, record, and document any and all damages to your business property, equipment, or inventory. Sub-standard documentation may result in a denied claim.
• Non-Compliance with Insurance Conditions – Every insurance policy has conditions and requirements about how to report a loss, how long you have to report a loss, how you value the loss, and more. If you are found non-compliant with these conditions, your claim may be denied by your insurance carrier.
