Insurance Benefits Claims
Have you ever been denied insurance benefits?
These days, most owners of homes, automobiles and businesses are covered by insurance to pay for losses if they are sued by an injured person; in the insurance industry, those kinds of claims are called "third-party" claims.
"First-party" claims are different. First-party claims are claims made by you, your family or your employees under a policy of insurance you bought to pay for losses you, your family or your employees may suffer. One example of an insurance policy that provides first party benefits is a disability policy. A disability policy is a policy that promises to pay you lost wages as long as you are physically disabled from working.
Other examples of first-party benefits policies and the benefits they provide are:
Workers' Compensation Insurance - Pays your medical bills and lost wages while you are out of work due to an injury that occurred at work.
No-Fault Insurance - Pays your medical bills and lost wages while you are out of work as a result of injuries caused by an automobile accident.
Loss of Business Income Insurance - Pays you for the profits your business lost while it was shut down due to a disaster such as fire or flood.
Property Damage Insurance - Pays for the cost to rebuild your house or business structure destroyed by fire, flood and other disasters. These policies also may pay for the cost to replace material goods lost in the disaster such as furniture, televisions, computers, etc.
Life Insurance is another form of insurance that provides a large monetary payment to a person, or persons, chosen by you to receive that money when you die.
