Homeowners Claims

Fighting Homeowners Insurance Claim Denials

Homeowners insurance is designed to protect you when disaster strikes, whether it’s a roof collapse after a storm, water damage from a burst pipe, or fire damage. However, too often, insurance companies automatically use insurance claim denials to avoid making legitimate payouts. This dirty tactic leaves homeowners with costly repairs and frustration.


If your insurance company is denying or underpaying your claim, Gustin Law is here to help. We fight to ensure that insurance companies uphold their responsibilities and provide you with the fair compensation you’re entitled to under your policy.

Common Reasons Insurance Companies Deny Claims

Insurance companies are notorious for using various tactics to avoid or minimize claim payouts. Here are a few of the most common reasons claims are denied:

  • Claiming Insufficient Evidence

    Insurance adjusters may argue that there’s not enough evidence to support your claim, such as documentation of storm damage to your roof or water damage within your home.

  • Policy Exclusions

    Insurance companies often cite specific exclusions in your policy to avoid covering damage. They may claim that the damage is due to wear and tear rather than a covered event, such as storm or wind damage.

  • Delaying Tactics

    Some insurers delay the claims process, hoping that homeowners will give up filing a claim dispute or accept a lower payout. They may also request excessive paperwork, adding unnecessary delays to the claim resolution.

When insurers deny legitimate claims, they may be acting in bad faith, which is where Gustin Law steps in to advocate for your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
