Why Policyholders Need Specialized Legal Representation

By Chad Trammell, Partner at Trammell Piazza Law Firm

Insurance recovery is a critical process that ensures policyholders receive the compensation they are entitled to when they file claims. However, what happens when an insurance company denies your claim? The process of challenging a denial can be complex, and that’s where the expertise of an experienced attorney comes into play. Trammell Piazza Law Firm specializes in insurance recovery, focusing solely on representing policyholders, not insurance companies.

Insurance policies are meant to provide peace of mind, protecting you from financial hardship in times of need. Your policy should cover certain losses, whether it’s property damage, business interruption, or personal injury. However, the reality is that many insurance claims are denied. And when this happens, the path to recovering what you’re owed can be overwhelming.

As Chad Trammell explains, “There are many different reasons why people need to file insurance claims and when they need assistance from a lawyer.”

This distinction is important. Most legal work in the insurance sector is handled by lawyers representing insurance companies’ interests. These attorneys have extensive experience minimizing payouts and finding justifications to deny claims. On the other hand, policyholders often struggle to find a lawyer who specializes in insurance recovery and is well-equipped to take on large insurance companies.

One of the most frustrating experiences for a policyholder is having a legitimate claim denied by their insurer. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers and adjusters whose primary goal is to reduce their financial liability. They understand the intricacies of insurance policies and frequently use these complexities to deny claims or minimize payouts.

It’s typically hard to find a lawyer with the specialized experience to handle a policyholder’s claim against an insurance company. We have that experience, which is crucial when dealing with denied claims. Trammell Piazza Law Firm focuses on representing policyholders, helping them navigate the complicated claims process, and fighting against unjust denials.

When a claim is denied, the policyholder may feel powerless. But with the proper legal representation, you can challenge the denial and seek the compensation you deserve. At Trammell Piazza, we take a thorough approach to insurance recovery, ensuring every client has the best possible chance of success.

  • Policy Review and Case Assessment: The first step in challenging a denied claim is understanding the policy’s language. Insurance policies are often written in complex legal jargon, making it difficult for the average policyholder to know exactly what is covered. Trammell emphasizes, “The language in your policy is everything. Insurance companies often rely on technicalities or vague terms to deny claims.”
    Our team of attorneys will carefully review the terms of your policy, looking for any possible grounds to challenge the denial. We have years of experience deciphering the fine print of insurance contracts and identifying where insurers may be acting in bad faith.
  • Dispute Resolution and Negotiation: Once we understand the terms of your policy, we move to the next step: negotiating with the insurance company. Insurance companies try to settle for a fraction of what you’re owed. Having an experienced insurance recovery attorney ensures you don’t accept less than you deserve. Our attorneys handle all negotiations, leveraging our expertise to push for a fair settlement.
    “We don’t let insurance companies bully our clients into accepting unfair settlements,” says Trammell. “Our job is to ensure our clients receive the compensation they’re entitled to under their policy.”
  • Litigation, If Necessary: Insurance companies sometimes refuse to settle, leaving litigation as the only option. Trammell Piazza Law Firm is fully prepared to take your case to court. With years of experience in insurance recovery litigation, our team knows how to build a strong case and fight aggressively for your rights.
    “Hopefully, your insurance company will fairly pay the claim and compensate you,” Trammell explains. “But what happens is if they deny the claim, if they don’t pay you what you think is a fair and reasonable amount, that’s when you need an attorney.”
  • A Contingency Fee Model: One reason policyholders hesitate to seek legal help is the cost. Trammell Piazza operates on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay any legal fees unless we recover compensation. This model ensures that policyholders can pursue insurance recovery without worrying about upfront legal costs.

The insurance recovery process can be daunting, especially when dealing with a denied claim. But with the right legal team, you can level the playing field and challenge the insurance company’s decision.
