We purchase life insurance believing that our loved ones will be protected in the event of death. In most cases the policy is honoured by the insurance company, but in some situations, payment is denied. Once a claim is presented, an insurance company may decide to conduct an investigation to determine if there has been any misrepresentation made in the application when the policy was applied for. This is especially the case with respect to large policies. If the insurance company is of the opinion that a certain medical condition has not been disclosed or that there has been any other fact misstated on the application, the claim may be denied.
Very often, life insurance policies contain specific limitation periods setting out the time period when a claim must be issued if a law suit is to be brought under the policy.
The law firm of Singer, Kwinter has been representing claimants against insurance companies for almost 30 years.
In the leading case of Golding v. Citadel Insurance Company, Alf Kwinter, a senior partner in the firm acted for the family of a woman who had died in her sleep. She held an accidental death policy with Citadel Insurance. The insurance company denied payment claiming that the death was not caused by an accident. They maintained their denial, requiring Mrs. Golding's family to sue. The case went to trial where the court agreed with Mr. Kwinter's argument that death was caused by an irregular heartbeat which was brought on by Mrs. Golding taking a diet pill which contained a dangerous substance known as PPH. The insurance company appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. The Appeal was unanimously dismissed with costs.
In the end, Mrs. Golding's family received the entire proceeds of the policy plus prejudgment interest.
In most cases no fee is payable until the case is settled.
At Singer, Kwinter we represent victims, we do not work for insurance companies.
If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident or has been faced with a denial by an insurance company, contact Singer, Kwinter and schedule your FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION.
