Because of a nation wide shortage of said medical device, I was forced to find this device on my own that was not within my Insurance network. If device wasn't obtained, I would have been placed out of work until device was obtained.

A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Going strictly by the terms of the policy, it's possible you might not be entitled to reimbursement. No one here could know for certain. But these types of situations SOMETIMES have room for discretion on... Read more »
My engineering hobby has turned into an expensive hobby. On Jan 17th 2022 the owner of the building where i rent removed the roof during the rainy season and lots of my equipment was ruined. The insurance company did not honor my claim calling my equipment business related. My insurance was not for... Read more »

What I see from your fact pattern is you failed to protect the items knowing the roof was being removed OR there was no notice the roof was being removed and that puts the LL on the hook. On your issue re: your insurance, you can argue until the cows come home and you may win??? But, so far, as... Read more »

These time limits you speak of (California Code of Regulations section 2695.7 do not apply to third party claims. The at-fault party's insurance company can simply refuse to pay. If that happens, your only recourse would be to sue the at-fault party. This is why it is almost always a... Read more »

In order to answer the question, it requires more information such as if there was a broker/agent involved as well, the policy language, any autopay agreements, etc. However, I will say that an insurance company is obligated to provide notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premium, pursuant...

Unfortunately, automobile warranties are not considered insurance and there is no way to sue the warranty company for bad faith. At most, you have a breach of contract claim worth $731. Give the warranty company a reasonable chance to authorize the repair. If they do not, your best bet would be... Read more »

What kind of lawyer would I need for this case
answered on May 31, 2022
You need an insurance coverage lawyer. You did not supply enough detail to get into the specifics of your case, but it sounds like you might have recourse against the insurance company if it paid out based on a forged document and you did not get the money.
I am looking for a lawyer to help me resolve my auto insurance claim. I got my car stolen last august and retrieved it the same month. My insurance refused to total the car out because they claimed it was fixable. It’s been 9 months and my car is still not repaired. I want to know if there is... Read more »

I would have sued both of them in the same case, and if they wanted to blame each other -- let them. They are both responsible for what happened. As far as you're concerned, it does not matter how you allocate the loss.

You may have a bad faith claim for denial of your claim, but it will likely depend on the terms in the business insurance policy.
