Insurance is not the simplest thing in the world to understand.

Policies can be confusing; the claims process daunting and the subject intimidating. In addition to this, insurance company representatives, with their superior knowledge and experience, can run rings around the average policyholder.

This situation is no accident.

The more confused you are, and the less you know, the more difficult and confusing the purchasing or claims process is. We help to change all of that by giving you the ability to protect yourself from the people you are paying to protect you.

Insurance Problems Can Mean Financial Disaster Your Family.

Consider these real-life situations:

• One policyholder was bankrupted when her insurers refused to pay disability benefits contending that she was not disabled as a court reporter because she could still read.
• Another lost his life savings because his insurance company refused to defend him in a liability suit wrongly claiming that the suit "wasn't covered" under their policy.
• A third died after he had been denied treatment with a cardiologist when he showed up at his HMOs emergency room with chest pains.
• A fourth lost her home to foreclosure after her insurance company rejected her contractors repair estimates and delayed paying for covered repairs for over twenty months.
• A fifth exhausted her retirement savings when her late husband's life insurer refused to pay her the policy benefits after he died in a tragic accident. The company fraudulently contended that the husband had lied about his medical history on his life insurance application.

The first thing you need to do is to give yourself a fast education in insurance law. At this point you may be thinking: "If I wanted to be an insurance nerd, I would have gone to law school." That's OK. You don't have to go that far. But you would be shocked at how the entire tone of a conversation with an insurance rep changes when you say something like: "But I thought ambiguous provisions in a policy had to be interpreted in favor of the policyholder."
