Why are life insurance claims denied?
Life insurance claims can be denied for a wide range of reasons, many of which might not make any sense or seem right at the time. Some of the most common reasons why life insurance claims are denied include:
- The life insurance company claims the policy is not in good financial standing.
- There are allegations made of non-payment of premiums.
- Material misrepresentation (allegations of intentionally withholding information or lying to insurance investigators)
- There is debate over the circumstances surrounding your loved one’s death.
