How long do insurance companies have to settle a claim?
Most states have laws that require insurance companies to settle claims within a "reasonable time." This time frame may vary by jurisdiction and type of insurance but can range from 30 to 90 days after a claim is filed, provided all necessary documentation is submitted.
Can I dispute the amount the insurance company is offering for my claim?
Yes, you can dispute the amount if you believe it's unfair or insufficient. You should:
1. Review the insurer’s calculation.
2. Provide your own estimates or evaluations (e.g., repair estimates).
3. Engage in negotiations with the insurer.

What is a public adjuster, and should I hire one?
A public adjuster is a licensed professional who works on behalf of the policyholder to evaluate and negotiate claims with the insurance company. They are particularly helpful when there is a large or complex claim, or when you believe the insurance company’s offer is too low.
Can I sue my insurance company if I disagree with their decision?
Yes, you can file a lawsuit if you believe the insurance company acted in bad faith or violated the terms of your policy. However, this should be a last resort after attempts at negotiation, mediation, or arbitration have failed.
