Hypothetical question

Ok so i'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

insurance company denying valid claim. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice....

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Idk but just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services haha.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet.

Went through this 6 months ago. My advice: be persistent but professional. Companies count on you giving up. Send follow-up letters every 2 weeks, reference your original complaint, and escalate to a supervisor each time. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
