HOW DO I KNOW IF I QUALIFY FOR A LIFE INSURANCE LAWSUIT?

Life insurance claims and lawsuit can be very complex. Our life insurance lawyers have handled hundreds of life insurance claims and can review your case to see if you may be entitled to any compensation. If you were the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you may qualify if the policy was paid to date. Sometimes insurance companies bring up defenses which we can investigate to see if you would still qualify.

WHAT ARE TYPES OF LIFE INSURANCE CLAIMS?

A life insurance dispute can arise whenever a life insurance claim is made and the life insurance company does not timely pay benefits. When this happens, a life insurance lawyer may be needed to fight for your rights to get you the compensation you deserve.

Material misrepresentation – A denied or delay for material misrepresentation arises when a person dies within a short time after taking out life insurance and the insurance company alleges the insured or owner failed to disclose certain things on the application for life insurance.

Interpleader – A life insurance company may file an interpleader lawsuit when it receives more than one claim for the same policy. Rather than decide which beneficiary should get the money, the life insurance company may file a lawsuit against both beneficiaries and deposit the money with the Court to let the beneficiaries sue each other or otherwise fight for the benefits.

Former Spouse Claims – Each state has its own divorce or life insurance laws which may deal with the rights of a former spouse who is still listed as beneficiary on their former spouse’s life insurance policy after the divorce. In some states, the former spouse is skipped over as beneficiary after the death of the insured. In other states, they may not be skipped. Under some group or federal policies, the language of the policy may supersede the divorce. In other cases, the divorce decree may specify whether life insurance was required to be maintained post-divorce.

Estate as Beneficiary – When an insured dies and there are no beneficiaries who survived the insured, the policy may still be payable to the estate of the insured or policy owner.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

The Toronto accident lawyers at the Andrew & Merilyn Associates can fight for compensation on behalf of accident victims seriously injured by the negligence of another. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, so you do not have to pay us anything unless you settle or win your case.

Car Accident – Drivers are required to use reasonable care. If you are rear ended or are in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Slip and Fall – A business, store or restaurant has a general duty to use reasonable care. If you slip and fall on a wet or slippery substance and were hurt, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering and more.

Wrongful Death – A wrongful death is a case brought as a result of the accidental death of another. Our attorneys have handled wrongful death cases including fatal car accident, fatal motorcycle accident, medical malpractice, negligent and inadequate security, and product liability.

Product Liability – When a customer uses a product as intended and that product causes serious injury or accidental death, the product maker, designer, seller or distributor may be liable to pay compensation to the customer. Our product liability lawyers handle product defect lawsuits involving consumer products, motor vehicles, medications, and medical devices.
