Mountain View Accidental Death Lawyer

When you have a loved one die as the result of an accident, it can put your family’s financial future in jeopardy. While accidental death benefits are meant to help you through this difficult time, the insurance company may attempt to dispute or even deny your claim. At Roberts Disability Law, P.C., we understand how devastating these kinds of losses can be. While no amount of money can make up for your loss, our Mountain View accidental death attorneys can help you get the benefits you need to recover.      

Reasons Your Accidental Death Claim May Be Denied

Employee life insurance plans provide valuable benefits to family members and beneficiaries when a loved one passes. At the same time, insurance companies often attempt to dispute the terms of the policy itself, and may deny the claim outright based on the manner of death and policy exclusions. Under the California Insurance Code, insurers may deny claims based on the following types of exclusions:    

• Death due to suicidal or self-destructive acts;
• Allegations of alcohol or drug abuse;
• Accidents involving dangerous activities, such as mountain biking or car racing;
• Medical mistakes and errors resulting in death;
• Pre-existing conditions excluded from coverage.
