Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
insurance company denying valid claim. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.
I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
I've seen this play out several times in my field.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
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.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
