First Party Insurance Claims

 

WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO SETTLE YOUR CLAIM?

    An insurance adjuster hired by the insurance company is going to protect the interests of their employer.  An attorney that represents you can take those major headaches away and let you get back to your home or business.  A typical insurance policy contains hundreds of provisions and stipulations, constantly changing forms and endorsements, and many complex details such as inventory appraisals and real estate evaluations that are required in case of a loss.  Most policyholders do not know that the burden of proof is theirs.  Here at The Law Office of Henry E. Marines, P.A.,  we know the insurance business and are experts with the recovery process.  We have years of experience in delivering results for our clients.

 

IS IT EXPENSIVE TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY FOR MY INSURANCE CLAIM?

    Not at all.  We work strictly on a contingency basis.  In other words, you pay us a small percentage only if you collect money from your insurance company.  If there is no recovery, then there are NO FEES.  In fact, we spend our own money and time documenting and resolving your claim before we are paid anything.
