Experienced Kitchener-Waterloo Lawyers for Recovering Death Benefits
When an individual passes away, dependant spouses or children may be entitled to certain life insurance benefits, sometimes called death benefits, to provide for their needs and maintain their financial stability. Obtaining life insurance benefits, however, can be a complicated process, so it is important to consult with a lawyer experienced in handling such insurance claims.
As one of southwestern Ontario's premier personal injury firms, Graves Richard Harris LLP offers experienced representation for families throughout the Niagara Region and Kitchener-Waterloo Region in obtaining life insurance benefits to which they are entitled.
Most life insurance policies have strict timelines regarding application for benefits following the death of a loved one. We will help you take the appropriate steps and guide you through the application process to obtain the benefits you need to support your family. We understand this can be an emotionally difficult time, so we handle all the details and keep you informed throughout the process.
Handling Life Insurance Disputes
Even if you apply within the correct timeframe, some insurance companies may delay the process further to limit payments to be made. Some may reject the application outright. If this happens, our lawyers can review the terms of your policy and take legal action if necessary to prevent delay or to combat a wrongfully denied claim.
While it is always desirable to resolve disputes with your insurance company without taking legal action, sometimes legal proceedings are required to enforce your rights under the contract of insurance. Our lawyers will be able to assist you in understanding your rights and obligations, and to assist you in obtaining the benefits to which you are entitled.
