$199,000 in Delayed Life Insurance Claim Where the Insurer Could Not Find the Policy
Life Claim represented the widow and two sons of a man who died with a AAA Life policy. The widow was the 50% beneficiary and each son was a 25% beneficiary.
The family filed claims, and then nothing happened. More than a year after the death, the insurer had still not paid. When we first wrote to AAA Life, it answered that it could not locate the policy at all. Lost files, lapse questions and premium disputes are common reasons a claim sits untouched, and a beneficiary rarely has the records needed to push back.
We assembled the proof: the policy and claim numbers, and evidence that he had paid his premium less than a month before he died, which meant the policy was in force.
Two weeks after we sent that proof, AAA Life paid all three of our clients, a total of more than $199,000.
Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
