California Life Insurance Attorneys


Serving San Francisco for Over 30 Years

Resolving Delayed or Denied Life Insurance Claims

Life insurance is a vital safety net, providing financial support for your loved ones in the event you're no longer able to do so. This essential form of insurance can cover economic losses resulting from the insured's passing, such as funeral expenses, mortgages, and educational costs. Unfortunately, it can be devastating when, in the midst of grief, your life insurance claim is unjustly delayed or denied.


At DL Law Group, we stand alongside beneficiaries of life insurance policies whose claims are facing delays, denials, or disputes by insurance companies. With 30 years of collective legal experience, we have a proven track record of handling even the most intricate life insurance disputes. We understand the emotional difficulty of these situations and provide compassionate support while zealously fighting for your rights.


Your Lifeline When Claims Are Denied

Insurance companies often seek any justification to delay or deny a claim. Common reasons for them failing to fulfill their promise of providing benefits include:

  • Alleging that the decedent's coverage had lapsed.
  • Accusing the decedent of fraud or misrepresentation.
  • Retroactively canceling the policy.
  • Technicalities or exclusions negating the benefit payout.
  • Deceptive wording in the insurance application.


Insurers frequently challenge beneficiaries and the circumstances of the insured's passing. Our legal team is well-versed in the tactics insurers employ to avoid liability. As your legal advocates, we will vigorously uphold your rights and assist you in obtaining the benefits your loved one has already paid for.


Understanding the Incontestability Clause

Every life insurance policy in California contains a two-year incontestability clause. This clause states that an insurance company cannot void a policy due to misrepresentations made by the insured on their insurance application after the two-year period has passed. If you have questions about incontestability clauses, our team is here to provide trusted answers and guidance.
