If an Insurer or Benefit Plan won’t pay ...

Have you fallen into the Insurance Deny/Delay/Bad Faith Trap? Or is Lloyds or an Employer Benefit Plan denying a major claim?

You’ve had a significant loss in your life, involving hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of dollars, and all your thoughts are … How can I get my life back together?

Unfortunately, the insurance company folks – and their counterparts at your benefit plan or Lloyds – are thinking … How can I pay these people as little as possible or nothing at all?

Breaking News

Advocate Law Group and its Co-Counsel have filed a Class Action complaint against the National Football League (NFL) Player Disability & Survivor Benefit Plan. The complaint, filed on behalf of ten former NFL players, alleges that the plan consistently denied claims in a continuing effort “to limit the payment of benefits to the very Players whom the plan was designed to help.”

Advocate Law Group P.C.

If you’ve been caught up in the insurance deny/delay/bad faith trap, you don’t have to fight the insurance company or benefit plan and their army of lawyers all by yourself. Add Advocate Law Group P.C. to your team,  along with our national and international Advocate Law Group Network. When the insurance agent sold you the policy, or the job provided major benefits, it really sounded simple. You pay the premiums, and if anything ever happens, you’ll be covered, and the insurance company or benefit plan will make you whole. You might even have had a small claim, and they paid it right away, reassuring you that everything was just fine. But now you’ve suffered a catastrophe involving hundreds of thousands of dollars, or more, and the expected payment from the insurance company or benefit plan you counted on and desperately need to begin to help you put your life or business back together isn’t coming. And, the response from the insurance company or benefit plan? Delay, Deny, Delay, Low Ball, and on and on.

It's time to fight back!

And to even the odds, you need an Advocate on your side. An Advocate that knows the laws and knows how insurance companies, Lloyds, and benefit plans operate and what makes them tick and pay. An Advocate who will go after the insurance company or benefit plan wherever in the world it is located. An Advocate who has decades of experience in fighting for policyholders and clients like you. An Advocate that will stay with you every step of the way until you receive the recovery you are entitled to.
