Sound familiar?
A denial that doesn’t add up

Property damage, injury claims, and business losses adjusted far below their documented value are a familiar pattern.
Endless delay tactics
Repeated document requests, adjuster changes, and silence are tactics and unreasonable delay can itself violate the law.
