It’s important to know that every insurance policy has a time limit in which you have to start a lawsuit.  If you do not start the lawsuit within that time limit you will be statute barred from bringing your claim and not even the best lawyer will be able to help you.  The usual time limit for such claims is 2 years from the date the cause of action arose, however in insurance denial claims your insurance contract could shorten or lengthen this time limit.

It is important that you have a Richmond insurance denial lawyer review your insurance policy to make sure you understand the time limits in which you have to act.

Frequently Asked Questions – Insurance Denials in Richmond

What should I do if my long-term disability claim is denied in Port Coquitlam?

First, don’t panic. Review the denial letter carefully and note any deadlines for appeal. Contact an insurance denial lawyer as soon as possible. We can help you gather medical evidence, prepare an appeal, or file a lawsuit if necessary.

Can I still challenge a denial if I’ve already appealed internally?

Yes. Even if you’ve gone through the insurer’s internal appeal process, you can still pursue legal action in court. In many cases, appeals are just delays, having a lawyer for insurance claims increases your chances of success.

How long do I have to sue my insurer in Richmond?

The limitation period is usually 2 years from the date you knew, or reasonably should have known, that your claim was denied. If you miss this deadline, your claim can be barred forever.  However, sometimes limitation periods can be shortened (or extended) by contract, so contact an experienced insurance lawyer to make sure you act in time.

Will I have to go to court in Richmond?

Most insurance denial claims settle out of court through negotiation or mediation. However, if the insurer refuses to settle reasonably, we are prepared to litigate in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, with the closest Court houses to Richmond being in Vancouver or New Westminster.  Richmond does have a Provincial Court, but often denied insurance claims are brought in the Supreme Court registries.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for insurance claims in Richmond?

We usually work on a contingency fee basis for denied insurance claims, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Our fees are a percentage of the amount recovered, which we discuss and agree upon before you hire us.
