Insurance is a valuable tool, and almost all of us need it at one time or another. When disaster strikes and your insurance coverage is needed, can you count on your insurance company to honor its policy and pay what is owed? No matter whether the damage was caused by fire, hail, wind, water, or otherwise, prompt and accurate payment by your insurance company is critical to get you or your business back to normal. For some policyholders, that means rebuilding or making repairs to a home. For others, it means reopening the doors of a business. Either way, at that dark moment, we all must rely on insurance companies to honor their obligations.
Unfortunately, insurance companies sometimes do the opposite. If your insurance claim is denied, delayed, or underpaid, you need skilled Tennessee-based insurance lawyers on your side. Here at McWherter Scott & Bobbitt, helping policyholders is all we do. We act as counselors and advocates for our clients – the policyholders, and strive to get the insurance company to honor the protection for which you paid when you purchased your insurance policy.
McWherter Scott & Bobbitt helps policyholders with disputes related to all types of insurance policies. There are insurance policies for most every type of risk for which policyholders pay high premiums to get protection. After a loss, insureds deserve to be made whole after a loss. For the homeowner, businessowner, commercial property owner, or homeowners’ association, the list of potential risks and dangers to your property seems endless, but the normal suspects are fire, windstorm, hail, hurricane, tornado, water, etc. McWherter Scott & Bobbitt can help with disputes on structures, personal property, and/or business personal property. Loss of business income coverage insures business owners’ stream of revenue and ability to pay employees, allowing business to continue. The firm can help with disputes where insurance companies undervalue the worth and revenues of a business. In life, health, disability, and long-term care insurance disputes, we can help in critical situations, particularly because these coverages assure that you or your loved ones can carry forward when the unexpected happens. We help policyholders with all these type policies and more.
