There are thousands of insurance companies and what seems like an infinite number of insurance policy and endorsement combinations, but that doesn’t matter to those who are insured.
They expect their insurance company to cover their claim.
The reasons for controverted claims are as varied as the claims themselves. Insurance agent’s error or omission, insurance company misinterpretation of the claim facts, improper interpretation of policy conditions, failure of the underwriting department to properly endorse a policy, and adjuster error are just a few possibilities.
