Q: My house has flooded I have insurance , the insurance company refuse to pay enough to repair my house .what can I do
A: The first thing you should do is look at the denial letter and determine why the insurance company has decided to deny your claim. Then, you should talk to an attorney about whether or not it makes sense to appeal the insurance company's denial. Most of the time, an insurance company will allow you to administratively appeal their denial before having to go to court. Depending on why they denied your claim, sometimes that can be done on your own or with an attorney, but it's always best to talk to an experienced insurance attorney before taking any action.
