Florida Disability Insurance Claims Lawyer
If you suffer an illness or injury that renders you unable to make a living or even perform daily activities, you expect your disability insurance to provide financial protection for you and your family. Unfortunately, insurance companies routinely deny, underpay or delay payment of legitimate disability claims. The financial and emotional distress caused by an insurer's failure to provide the promised coverage makes a difficult situation even worse.
At Corless Associates in Tampa, we are committed to helping policyholders obtain the compensation that is rightfully theirs. Our experienced legal team will handle every detail of your disability insurance case while being mindful of the disruption to your life, freeing you up to concentrate on your health, your family and your future.

Insurance companies invest a great deal of time and money into training their claims adjusters and investigators. They scrutinize each claim that is filed, attempting to minimize or altogether deny payment. Common tactics used to avoid paying policyholders include:
- Delay — By continuously requesting additional, duplicative and seemingly unnecessary information and documentation, insurance companies hope that disabled claimants will become disheartened and give up the fight for benefits.
- Lapsed coverage — Sometimes, insurers will claim that a missed premium payment caused the coverage to lapse, leaving you without an active insurance policy.
- Policy exclusion — Some insurers will assert that you are not entitled to benefits due to an exclusion or limitation of your policy. For example, they may claim that since you were not hospitalized prior to your long-term care claim, you are not allowed benefits under your policy.
Insurance companies know that most policyholders do not understand their rights and use this knowledge to take advantage of claimants. Because we used to represent some of the most prominent insurance companies in Florida, we know how these businesses operate. We are familiar with the tricks they use to avoid paying policyholders what they deserve. Our legal team uses this experience to help clients hold insurance companies to their word.
