How do I challenge an insurance company’s decision?

If you are unhappy with an insurance company’s decision, you can challenge it in a few ways. In New Jersey, you can file a formal complaint with the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (NJDOBI). You can also file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The complaint should include the insurance company’s name, contact information, policy number, details of the claim, and the reason you are challenging the decision. Before filing a complaint, make sure that you have correct and valid documentation of your insurance claim. You should also collect evidence of the insurer’s wrongdoing or negligence. If your complaint does not have a reasonable basis, the NJDOBI or CFPB may not take further action. The NJDOBI or CFPB will investigate the complaint, and may require documents or testimony from both you and the insurance company. If they find that the insurance company acted wrongfully, the NJDOBI or CFPB may demand the insurance company to pay a penalty or even re-issue a policy. If you are unhappy with the decision of the NJDOBI or CFPB, you can take your case to court. An attorney can help you understand the legal process and your rights, and will represent you in court. You can seek a monetary award or have the original decision overturned.
