Regardless of the circumstances, I believe there is no substitute for honesty, integrity, experience, and hard work.  Simply put, there are no shortcuts in the practice of law.

Insurance Disputes & Fraud

contact-articleAn insurance policy is, in its simplest form, a contract that was carefully written by the insurance company that issued it.  This contract sets forth the rights and responsibilities of the insurance company and the insured.

Insurance companies are in the business of making money and they do so in a variety of ways, to include the following:

  • Raising premiums
  • Denying or delaying payment on claims
  • Offering significantly less than what a claim is worth
  • Refusing to issue policies to those most in need of insurance
  • Cancelling policies of those who are deemed to be “high risk”


Some insurance companies are straightforward and honest in how they treat their policyholders and handle claims.  Unfortunately, not all insurance companies operate under the same fundamental principles.  

Oftentimes, dealing with an insurance company can be an intimidating, frustrating, and disheartening experience.  To handle your insurance claim on your own may result in an epic David v. Goliath encounter, but with a quite different outcome.

A claim for benefits under an insurance policy is normally the result of some incident (potentially catastrophic) that has occurred.  This could be an automobile wreck, damage to your home due to severe weather or a fire, or even an injury or disability that prevents you from being able to work.  Thus, it is typically when you are most vulnerable that you are making a claim for payment under an insurance policy.

At The Ryder Law Firm, we have extensive experience handling claims involving insurance companies, to include litigating cases in which insurance companies have arbitrarily denied our clients’ claims for benefits.  We understand the technicalities of this area of the law and the measures that must be taken to preserve any potential claim that you might maintain.  Contact The Ryder Law Firm -- we will thoroughly evaluate your case and assist you in obtaining the recovery that you deserve.
