Speaking with an attorney is the first step toward resolution of a dispute with your insurer. If you lack insurance experience, you should not take these matters into your own hands. Doing so can be mentally and emotionally taxing, potentially unproductive, or even damaging to your case.

Should I contact the Department of Insurance?
Should I contact the Department of Insurance?
Filing a complaint with the Department of Insurance might seem like the logical step when you feel your insurance company is acting in bad faith. However, there are certain considerations that should be taken into account before deciding to go down this path, and it's not always the best option. There are a few reasons why you might want to think twice before filing a complaint:
The process can be slow. The department of insurance may take several months to investigate your complaint, and you may not receive a resolution until even longer. This can be frustrating, especially if you need the money from your insurance claim to pay for repairs or medical bills.
The outcome is not guaranteed. Even if the department of insurance finds that your insurance company acted in bad faith, they may not order the company to pay your claim. In some cases, the department may only issue a warning to the company.
Filing a complaint could damage your relationship with your insurance company. If you file a complaint with the department of insurance, your insurance company may be less likely to work with you in the future. This could make it difficult to get coverage for future claims.
Complaining to the Department of Insurance could be beneficial, and could resolve your issue, but it should not be your first step towards dispute resolution with your insurer. Contact us to discuss your case, we have the experience to help with this decision.
