How To Handle a Denied Truck Accident Claim in Florida

ClaimDenied

Being involved in a truck accident can be a devastating experience. A truck accident, even one that is considered minor, can have catastrophic results. When you suffer injuries in a Florida truck accident, you want to know that the liable party or parties will compensate you fairly for your injuries and damages. The last thing you expect is that your truck accident claim will be denied. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for insurance companies to deny truck accident claims. The good news, however, is that a denied claim does not necessarily mean the end of the road. After your truck accident claim is denied, you may still be able to recover the compensation you deserve. Below, we discuss how to handle a denied truck accident claim in Florida.

Review the Denial Letter To Understand the Reason for the Denial

The first crucial step after your Florida truck accident claim is denied is to review the denial letter to understand why your claim was denied. Insurance companies usually provide a reason for denial. The following are some of the reasons insurance companies give for denying claims;

  • Insufficient evidence
  • Discrepancies in the information provided
  • Not meeting a deadline
  • Failure to prove liability
  • Pre-existing injuries

Gather Additional Evidence

Suppose your truck accident claim was denied due to insufficient evidence, failure to prove liability or a pre-existing medical condition. In that case, you need to gather additional evidence. For instance, if your claim was denied due to a pre-existing injury, yet your injury was exacerbated by the accident, you need to gather evidence that shows your injury worsened after the accident and establishes a clear link between the accident and the exacerbation of your pre-existing injury, such as medical records, expert opinions, and witness statements.

Contact a Qualified Truck Accident Attorney

One of the most vital steps after your truck accident claim is denied is to contact a qualified truck accident lawyer. While it is not impossible to handle a denied truck accident claim on your own, a skilled attorney can provide invaluable guidance. They can review your case and advise you on the best course of action. An attorney can help you gather additional evidence. While you can gather evidence alone, a skilled truck accident lawyer can offer efficient assistance.

File an Appeal

If you were wrongly denied compensation, you have the right to appeal your denied truck accident claim. A skilled truck accident attorney can help determine if you have valid grounds for appealing your denied claim. If you do, they can help you file your appeal and submit any additional documentation or evidence that supports your case. Also, an experienced attorney can help you negotiate with the insurance company or companies.
