Have you recently lost a loved one? The last thing you want to do during this difficult time is engage in a stressful and time-consuming dispute with your loved one's life insurance company.

That is what we are here for.
At the Los Angeles area law firm of Donahue & Horrow, L.L.P., you will find an attorney with more than 40 years of experience and a record of success in fighting life insurance denials throughout California. We understand that you are depending on proceeds from the life insurance claim to cover expenses and perhaps to replace your loved one's lost wages.
Why Was the Life Insurance Claim Denied?
People purchase life insurance not for themselves, but for the security of their dependents and beneficiaries. Policyholders may faithfully pay on a policy for years, never suspecting that the insurer will refuse to honor the policy. Unfortunately, this happens all the time.
Insurers may look for excuses and exceptions not to honor a life insurance claim. For example, insurers have refused to pay on claims for deceased persons arguing that the deceased failed to disclose a smoking history to the insurer. This is referred to as rescission by the insurer. Of course, the real reason for the claim being denied is that insurance companies want to protect their bottom lines. They do that by avoiding as many claims as possible.
Many life insurance policies offer additional coverage called accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Our lawyers can assist with this type of insurance as well.
