Hiring an Attorney for an Insurance Claim — When, Why and How

When you have suffered a loss and filed insurance claim and you're not sure what your rights are, you may be concerned about trusting your insurance company. The only way to ensure a fair settlement of a claim is to educate yourself and hire an attorney to assist you in the process. The first thing you need before making these decisions is a complete copy of your policy, including the "Declarations Page" and all "Endorsements" and "Riders".

Your Declarations Page is generally the first or second page of the policy. It states the dollar limits applying to each category of coverage, and lists the endorsements and riders, (extras) that you have in addition to the basic policy. This information will enable you to review your basic coverage categories:

  • Dwelling
  • Contents (Personal Property)
  • Loss of Use (sometimes called "Additional Living Expenses".
