Des Moines Life Insurance Claim Attorneys
When a family member passes away, life insurance benefits can provide beneficiaries with the monetary compensation to pay for final expenses and keep the family afloat without the deceased’s financial support. When you pay hefty premiums to a life insurance company, you expect that the insurance company will do right by you and pay these benefits right away. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Life insurance companies often deny coverage for various reasons, making life more difficult for families who are already dealing with the tragic loss of their loved one. Most insurance companies make a profit by collecting premiums and not paying out on policies. Some insurers may participate in illegal or illegitimate practices to delay or deny payment to policyholders. Insurance companies employ large teams of lawyers to ensure that payment is denied or that policyholders will accept minimal settlements for their claim.
If you have been delayed or denied payment on a life insurance claim, contact our Des Moines life insurance attorneys at LaMarca Law Group, P.C.. Call at (515) 705-0233 for a free initial consultation to discuss your legal options.
How a Life Insurance Claim Lawyer Can Help
If a life insurance company can avoid paying out on policies with some plausible excuse, they won’t hesitate to reject your claim. Their goal is to maintain hefty profits by collecting insurance premiums by denying claims or offering a policyholder a fraction of the compensation that they are entitled to.
If this happens to you, consulting with a life insurance claim attorney is essential. You may have to file a lawsuit to get the payment you deserve. An experienced attorney representing beneficiaries can litigate in both state and federal court to obtain appropriate settlements for their clients. An attorney can also help appeal an insurance company’s decision.

Life Insurance Denial Cases We Handle
Many clients have questions about why their life insurance claim was denied and if the insurer had a valid reason for the rejection. Every life insurance case is different, but there are some common reasons the insurance company may cite.
If the insured dies within a specific time frame (usually two years following the issuance of the insurance policy) the insurance company may employ manipulative tactics or practices to justify denying or delaying payment of a life insurance claim. Although state laws can limit some exclusions, insurance companies may use certain words or terms in an ambiguous manner to justify denying a claim.
We handle life insurance cases where the claim is denied for the following reason(s):
- Denial due to a policy exclusion
- Failure to pay premiums or lapse in coverage
- Failure to reinstate policies
- Denial due to death in a foreign land
- Failure to provide complete information on the application
- Misrepresentation on the life insurance application
- Denial for failure to provide an insurability form
- Denial due to an assumption of death because the insured is missing
- Denial due to employer error
- Denial due to a policy termination
- Denial due to an employment status change
- Denial due to a conversion of a policy
- Denial due to alcohol or drug use
- Denial due to an accidental death
- Denial due to suicide
