Insurance Disputes

Fighting For Fair Compensation From Insurance Companies

Kansas Citians spend a good portion of their money on insurance, from life insurance to insuring their vehicles, homes and businesses. When they suffer a loss, they expect that their insurers will honor the contractual provisions set forth in their policies. Unfortunately, that does not always happen. Sometimes insurers try to avoid their contractual responsibilities by denying claims or attempting to pay less than full claim value. Without proper legal representation, insureds may not get all they are owed.
