Common Reasons for Denial of American Integrity Property Claims
Each insurance plan outlines the type of damages they cover and the situations in which they will pay for the damage. For example, one plan may pay for any type of water damage, while another may not cover water damage caused by flooding.
Because the terms of your plan may vary, it is impossible to determine why your claim was denied without reviewing your policy. However, there are several common reasons for denial, including:
- Lack of information
- Inaccurate information
- Failure to meet the deductible
- The cause of the damage is excluded (for example, flooding)
- The insurance company believes you were at fault
- You failed to pay your premium, and your coverage lapsed
- The deadline to file has passed
- The cause of the damage is unclear
- The damage was caused by neglect
Remember, each insurance plan is different. Even if your American Integrity plan does not cover specific damage, you may carry another plan that does. Contact us today for a free review of your denial at 1-800-747-3733.
Damage You Might Recover in an American Integrity Property Claim Appeal
The first question many clients have is, “How much can I expect to get from the insurance company?” When you are facing property damage, it is understandable. Property damage can impact more than just your bank account; it can affect your entire life.
While we cannot provide an online estimate of how much your claim may be worth, you may recover more than you think. In many cases, insurance will cover the following losses:
Repair Damage
You may recover the cost to repair your property to pre-damaged conditions. For example, replace windows, repair walls, remove fallen trees, and clear up the debris.
Rebuild Your Property
If your home or property is beyond repair, you may recover the cost to rebuild the structure. Your policy may also pay to rebuild smaller structures, such as a shed, standalone garage, or in-law suite.
Personal Property
In many cases, you can recover the value of personal property damaged in the storm or accident. This may include furniture, clothing, jewelry, appliances, electronics, children’s toys, and other personal items.
Your insurance company may require a rider to cover unusually expensive items, such as rare art pieces, professional tools, or high-end musical instruments.
Temporary Relocation Costs
If you are unable to remain in your property, your plan may cover temporary relocations costs, including the cost to stay in a hotel and meals out. Many policies cover these costs for up to a year, but your plan’s coverage may vary.
Liability Protection
If someone else sustains injuries while on your property, your insurance plan may cover their medical costs. For example, if your dog attacks a guest or a friend slips and falls on your driveway. Coverage will vary based on details of your situation.
