Experienced Knoxville Insurance Dispute Attorneys
Protecting Tennessee policyholders against insurers safeguarding their own interests
We know the path to settlement that insurance companies take often uses unsavory methods to drive quick settlements that save carriers money. Burying insureds in paperwork to delay payment buys them time to find reasons to deny claims or substantially reduce payout of your benefits. Every action insurance carriers take is designed to put themselves in a better position rather than upholding their promise to you. What recourse do you have when you have paid years of premiums to your insurance company, only to be left out in the cold when you are at your most vulnerable?

We are proud of our history of fighting on behalf of Knoxville policyholders who have a right to the protection they’ve paid for.

Your life, home, or business can incur damage from many sources
You never expect to drive up to your home or business to find devastation not just from a fire, but from unavoidable water damage that followed to extinguish the fire. Even if you can dry many of your belongings out, they were likely already ruined from smoke damage. One catastrophic event often leads to damage from subsequent actions and at the end of the day, the only thing you have left to count on is being insured. Our attorneys will be there to handle your Knoxville insurance claim disputes over:
- Tornado damage
- Hail damage
- Earthquake damage
- Theft
- Vandalism
Damage can be accidental or intentional, but when the dust settles you should be able to put your home or business back together. After all, your insurance company told you they would be there when you experienced a loss. Don’t battle the insurance company on your own. Our highly capable attorneys will be at your back to prevent the carrier from taking advantage of you in your time of need.
