How do I challenge an insurance company’s decision?

If you would like to challenge an insurance company’s decision in South Carolina, the first step is to reach out to the insurance company and explain the issue. If the decision is still unsatisfactory, you can file a complaint with the South Carolina Department of Insurance. The department can investigate the company and rule on the decision. You can also challenge the decision in court in the county where you live or in the county where the insurance company is located. In the lawsuit, ask the court to review the insurance company’s decision. To make a valid claim you will need to show that the insurance company violated the insurance contract, did not properly consider the facts, or acted in bad faith. You will also have to show that you suffered real damages. Finally, if the company does not properly respond to your complaint or the court fails to extend a favorable ruling, you can also file a complaint with the South Carolina Department of Insurance, which will investigate the complaint and determine whether or not the insurance company’s decision is legally binding.
