Life insurance policies are important financial safeguards for families throughout Florida. Often, however, life insurance companies will refuse to pay their policy benefits when a policyholder passes away. If you or a family member is having a dispute with your life insurance company an experienced lawyer can help you.

It is an unfortunate but common occurrence for life insurance companies to refuse to pay their policy benefits when a policyholder passes away. This occurrence is particularly devastating in Florida where many retirement age people reside with their loved ones. Sometimes the insurance companies defend their decision not to pay by claiming there was a misstatement on the application for insurance. However, Florida law only permits this defense within two years of the date the policy was issued and requires insurers to refund policy premiums right away. If you live in Florida, including the Ft.
