Life Insurance

Life insurance is often the single most important insurance purchased by a family or individual.

The death of a loved one can affect us on all levels of our lives. The death of a spouse, sibling, parent or other family member is emotionally distressing. The loss of a family member can cause mental turmoil.  The death of a loved one can, on top of it all, be financially devastating. Insurance policy proceeds are able to provide some measure of financial support in a time of need.

When a family makes a life insurance claim, prompt payment by the insurance company is crucial. Unfortunately, insurers may delay or deny a life insurance claim.
An insurance company claim delay or denial may be for legitimate reasons such as the need to determine the proper payee if more than one beneficiary makes a claim for benefits. Claim delay or denial may be for illegitimate reasons such as a profit motive where the insurer has procedures designed to hold onto your funds for their own benefit.

If you are experiencing life insurance policy claim delay or denial, you may benefit from professional consultation and representation by an experienced insurance attorney.

The attorneys at Meyer and Blumenshine have assisted many individuals in recovering life insurance policy benefits throughout Illinois.  You may be entitled to the recovery of penalties and fees, in addition to policy benefits, if the court finds the insurance company engaged in unreasonable and vexatious delay or denial of your life insurance policy claim.
