Filing an Appeal for Life Insurance Claims

Life insurance appeal procedures vary, depending on who paid the policy’s premiums. If the life insurance is employer-funded, the federal Employee Retirement Insurance Security Act (ERISA) applies. If your personal life insurance claim is denied, you may have a claim under state law. Depending on which laws apply, you must follow different appeal procedures. In an ERISA claim, for example, you cannot file a lawsuit until you complete an administrative appeal process with the insurance company. Strict filing deadlines and evidentiary rules apply to ERISA claims.

Bad Faith Life Insurance Denials

If your personal life insurance claim is denied in bad faith, the insurance company may owe you additional punitive damages. You may have a bad faith claim if:

• You provided sufficient evidence to support your claim,
• The insurance company refused to pay benefits, and
• Its refusal was arbitrary, capricious, or without probable cause.
