Experienced Jackson, MS Insurance Dispute Attorneys
Tireless representation that Mississippi insureds can rely on when devastation takes hold
It’s no secret to anyone that the goal of insurance companies and their agents is to make money. As such, they do everything in their power to persuade you to take out a policy with coverage that may or may not be in your best interest. It may not even provide you with the protection they claimed you would receive as they glossed over the big picture explanation of benefits. Up-selling policies that cover you, your home, your car, and your business is what it’s all about for the insurance industry.
You’re promised that if you become disabled, you’ll receive necessary benefits to ease a lifetime of tough road ahead. If you die, they assure you that your family will be protected from becoming homeless and falling on harder times. Yet when there’s been an accident, a natural disaster, or you experience another loss triggering the need to use your policy benefits, the insurance company doesn’t want to know you. They stall, deny your claim by alleging some exclusion in the fine print, or they offer a pittance in comparison to the damages you have endured.

Common covered losses leading to disputes
There are numerous events that can cause a loss that you expect your insurance policy to protect you against. When you experience damage due to unexpected disaster, you are supposed to feel a slight sense of relief in knowing that your situation is temporary, and your policy and insurance company will take care of you. This process rarely goes as smoothly as you thought it would despite the insurance companies being experienced in dealing with the majority of Mississippi damage claims caused by:
- Tornado damage
- Hail damage
- Earthquake damage
- Theft
- Vandalism
When you have a triggering event, you are not limited to payment for the actual property damage or injury alone. You have other necessary expenses that stem from the damage that you may also be entitled to payment for, including:
- Loss of business income
- Loss of rental income
- Storage fees
- Utility or rental deposits for temporary living arrangements
- Hotel fees
- Reimbursement for dining out during displacement

Insurance companies have an entire legal department devoted to reviewing policy language to find ways around paying out on your policy when you need it the most. Their attorneys exist to save the company money by any means possible, including manipulating the policy language and defending against litigation when they refuse your insurance claim.
