Had your insurance claim denied? Our Long Island public adjusters review denied claims, gather evidence, and fight for reconsideration. Free consultation - call 516-410-0164.

Why was my home insurance claim denied?

Common reasons for denial include "gradual damage," "wear and tear," or filing the claim late. However, denials are often wrong. We offer a free review of denied claims to see if we can overturn the decision.

Can I appeal a denied homeowners insurance claim in New York?

Yes. New York policyholders have the right to appeal a denied claim. You can request reconsideration, invoke the Appraisal clause in your policy, or file a complaint with the NY Department of Financial Services. A public adjuster can help you build a stronger case with additional documentation and evidence.

What documents help overturn a denial?

Key documents include the original denial letter, your full insurance policy, photos and videos of damage taken immediately after the loss, contractor estimates, weather reports from NOAA , maintenance records, and any expert reports (engineering, mold testing, etc.). We compile all of this into a comprehensive appeal package.

Is there a deadline to dispute a denied claim?

Yes. In New York, you typically have two years from the date of loss to file a lawsuit against your insurer, though your policy may have shorter internal deadlines for appeals. Act quickly—the sooner you involve a public adjuster, the more options you'll have.

What if only part of my claim was denied?

Partial denials are common. Insurers often approve some damage but deny related items like mold remediation or code upgrades. We review the entire estimate line-by-line to challenge any items that were wrongly excluded and negotiate for full coverage.

Should I give a recorded statement after a denial?

Be cautious. Anything you say can be used to justify the denial. Before providing additional statements, consult with a public adjuster who can advise you on what to say—or speak on your behalf—to protect your interests.

Can a public adjuster help after a denial letter is issued?

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us after receiving a denial. We review the denial reason, gather additional evidence, prepare a formal appeal, and negotiate with the insurance company. In many cases, we successfully overturn denials and secure fair settlements.

What is the "Appraisal" process in insurance claims?

Appraisal is a dispute resolution process used when you and the insurer agree there is damage but disagree on the price. You hire an appraiser (us), they hire one, and a neutral Umpire breaks the tie. It is a faster alternative to a lawsuit.

Why Insurance Claims Get Denied

Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons — some legitimate, many not. Common denial reasons include alleged policy exclusions, disputes about the cause of damage, claims of pre-existing conditions, or simply insufficient documentation.

Unfortunately, many denials are based on technicalities or misinterpretations of your policy. Insurance adjusters may not thoroughly investigate your claim or may apply exclusions that don't actually apply to your situation.

As your public adjuster, we thoroughly review your denial letter, policy language, and the circumstances of your claim. We often find grounds for appeal that homeowners wouldn't recognize on their own.

Common Reasons for Claim Denials

Policy exclusion cited incorrectly

Alleged pre-existing damage

Missed filing deadlines

Insufficient documentation

Disputed cause of loss

Maintenance vs. covered damage

Coverage limits exceeded

Policy lapse allegations
