Arizona Disability Insurance Claim Denial Lawyers
Although private disability insurance policies are often costly, many people in a range of professions and occupations purchase them and pay premiums faithfully for peace of mind and income protection. When a covered individual becomes legitimately disabled by injury or illness, all too often the insurer finds a way to deny the claim — intentionally depriving that person of benefits he or she thought were guaranteed.

Why Choose a Bad Faith Lawyer?
Disability insurance bad faith is a common problem that leaves claimants feeling trapped. They thought they could depend on their insurance providers for disability pay, only to find out the insurer is denying the claim or unfairly delaying payment. A bad faith lawyer can put your claim in a more powerful position. Hiring a lawyer will force the insurance company to take your claim seriously and handle it more fairly. A bad faith lawyer from Surrano Law Offices can work through the complexities of your unique case after an insurance company denies or delays your claim.
An attorney will know precisely how to communicate with insurance company claims adjusters to achieve the best possible outcome. Rather than you negotiating with the insurer alone, your lawyer will take care of things for you. Pursuing a bad faith legal action is a major undertaking. It will take patience and persistence. When you hire an attorney to take care of your case, you can often expedite the process, with the potential for a better outcome. A lawyer can increase the likelihood of your bad faith claim success.
Some of the actions your lawyer can take on your behalf include: evaluating your case, sending demand letters to the insurance company, negotiating settlements with claims adjusters, helping you meet important requirements or deadlines, documenting your disabilities, and even taking the insurance company to court, if necessary, for a fair outcome. Your lawyer will not let an insurance provider take advantage of you. Your attorney will take care of confusing paperwork and time-consuming claim processes on your behalf, while you focus on rehabilitation or spending time with family.
How Much Does a Bad Faith Lawyer Cost?
Most bad faith lawyers – including Surrano Law Offices – work on a contingency fee basis. This is an option in which you will not have to pay for your legal services unless your attorney obtains a settlement or jury verdict in your favor. If your lawyer wins the case, he or she will deduct legal fees and costs advanced directly from the compensation award, rather than billing you. You do not need to worry about the cost of an attorney at Surrano Law Offices. We understand that you are likely already in a financial predicament without the pay you need from disability insurance. We are here to help, not make matters worse. Schedule a free consultation today.
