Why Do Insurance Claims Get Denied? 

When you are injured in a car accident, you reasonably expect your claim to be approved. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. As noted above, insurance companies are for-profit businesses. They are reluctant to pay out and often deny claims for a variety of reasons. 

In Florida, when an insurance company denies a claim, they are required by law to provide the policyholder with written notification of the denial and its reason. It helps individuals understand why their claim was denied and how to appeal it or take further action to receive compensation.  

Common reasons for denial include:  

• Improper Filing. In some cases, insurance companies may deny claims due to a failure on the part of the policyholder to meet specific requirements outlined in their contract or policy documents, including failing to provide evidence of injuries sustained during an accident or failing to follow particular procedures when filing a claim.  
• Suspicion of Fraud. Additionally, insurers may deny claims if they suspect fraud; for example, if they believe that false information was provided to support a claim to receive a higher amount of compensation. 
• Dispute over the Severity of Injuries. Insurance companies may also deny claims because they believe the victim’s medical treatment exceeds what is necessary for them to cover. Alternatively, insurers may refuse coverage due to preexisting conditions the claimant didn’t disclose or any other fine print limitations specified in the policy. 
• Repeated denials of the claim. Insurers have been known to deny claims because they hope their customers will give up trying after being repeatedly denied coverage. Claimants might simply accept whatever amount is offered without challenging it further, especially if the victim doesn’t have representation.
