What To Do If Your Life Insurance is Not Paying Your Claim
If your life insurance claim is denied, the first step is to try to find out why. Don’t let the insurance company push you around. Ask them directly for a denial reason. This will help you build a case to dispute the denial.
Once you have this information, you can provide all the required documentation needed to show that the reason the insurance company denied your claim is not valid. Our New Orleans life insurance claim lawyers will help you put together a strong case, proving without a doubt to the insurance company that you are owed the death benefits as the beneficiary.

Common Life Insurance Claim Denial Reasons
Despite the friendly ad campaigns and reassuring language used by many life insurance providers which claim they will help you achieve “peace of mind” knowing your loved ones will be covered in your absence, the truth of the matter is that insurance companies are still businesses with profits to protect and shareholders to please.
As such, it is not uncommon for insurance companies to be inclined to resort to less-than-honest methods in order to limit, delay, or even flat-out deny death benefits to life insurance beneficiaries. Our team of advocates can help protect you against these bad faith tactics and ensure your insurer is held to their contractual obligations.
Common tactics used to deny life insurance claims include:
- Alleging misstatements or that the insured lied on their application
- Imposing unfair eligibility requirements not discussed in the policy
- Intentionally including ambiguous terms and interpreting them in the company’s favor
- Claiming that the policy lapsed without providing adequate notice
