Disability Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer in Phoenix, AZ

Disability Insurance Bad Faith Overview

Many people in higher-paying professions and occupations purchase private disability insurance for protection of their incomes against illness or injury. While disability insurance coverage may be quite expensive, policyholders enjoy the peace of mind and stability it is positioned to provide.

If you have become disabled and submitted a claim — only to have that claim denied for reasons you cannot understand or accept — it is essential not to give up without contacting an attorney. At Surrano Law Offices, we are well equipped to determine if the denial is justified or if the company is guilty of insurance bad faith. In fact, several of the largest settlements we have obtained for our clients have come in this area of insurance bad faith law.

Experience With Both Own-Occupation and Any-Occupation Disability Claim Denials

Valid disability insurance claims are wrongfully denied every day across the United States. Our lawyers are experienced in evaluating insurance company handling of claims under:

• Policies insuring a person’s ability to perform a single, defined “own occupation”
• “Any occupation” disability insurance policies to cover people who become unable to work in any job

Knowledge of Insurer Strategies for Wrongfully Denying High-Value Claims

Our principal attorney, a well-regarded speaker on own-occupation disability claims, has extensive insight into insurance company strategies including rewriting how the policyholder’s occupation is defined or claiming that the disability is short-term rather than permanent. Similarly, years of experience enable us to spot problems with denials of “any occupation” disability claims.

While our practice is based in Arizona, we also collaborate with local counsel in other states such as California, Florida, Kentucky, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina and Ohio.
