Individuals and businesses purchase various forms of insurance to secure the financial well-being of themselves and those they care about the most. Although, when marketing their products, insurance companies frequently characterize themselves as “neighbors” or “friends” offering security and peace of mind, that collegial attitude often disappears once an insured files a claim. All too often, insurance companies are reluctant to fulfill their obligations, and wrongly disclaim coverage or deny claims, thereby depriving insureds of the benefits to which they are lawfully entitled.
