What are my rights if my insurance company asks for additional documentation?
Your rights are protected by North Dakota’s fire insurance claims law. If your insurance company asks you for additional documentation, you do not need to provide it if it is not specifically listed in your policy. It is important to know what your policy states about potential requests for additional evidence. If the insurance company does request additional documentation, you should review your policy to see if the request is listed in the policy. You should also determine if the requested documents are reasonable and necessary. If the requested documents are not listed in your policy, you have the right to file a complaint with the North Dakota Insurance Department. The complaint may be submitted online, or you can call the department at 1-800-247-0560. If your complaint has merit, the Insurance Department will investigate and may take action against the insurance company if necessary. You also have the right to seek legal advice from a qualified attorney. They can help you understand the requirements of the insurance policy and whether the request for additional documentation is reasonable. An attorney can provide advice regarding your rights and options, and guide you on how to proceed. It is important to remain aware of your rights when facing a fire insurance claim in North Dakota. Understanding what is or isn’t reasonable in terms of additional documentation can be very helpful when settling the claim.
