What should I do if my insurance company refuses to pay my claim?

If your insurance company refuses to pay your claim in Washington, you should initiate a legal process that may involve filing a complaint. The Washington Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) regulates insurance companies, including those that offer fire insurance, in Washington. You can contact the DFI for help filing a complaint against your insurance company. When filing a complaint against an insurance company, you should include a description of the claim, the reasons why you believe your claim should be paid, and any supporting documents that show why you think the claim should be paid. You should also include a list of any attempts you have made to resolve the dispute with the company. Once the DFI receives your complaint, it will investigate the dispute. If the DFI determines that your insurance company wrongfully refused to pay your claim, it may take several actions, such as ordering your insurance company to pay the amount of your claim or to issue a letter of reprimand. You also have the right to sue your insurance company in court, if necessary. In any case, it is important to keep records of all communications with your insurance company and to keep copies of all documents related to your claim. Doing so will help you protect your rights and increase your chances of receiving a fair settlement.
