On Saturday, September 26^th, attorneys David Daggett and Griff Shuler of Daggett Shuler Law appeared on Triad Today to talk about life insurance policies and resulting claims. They offered insight, advice, and great tips about what to do, should your life insurance claim be denied.

Each year, more than $1 billion in life insurance benefits go unclaimed. These benefits are designed by nature to cover funeral expenses, education, and to take care of the beneficiary’s future needs.

One of the major reasons that unclaimed benefits exist is denials by the insurance company. They use any technicality to deny claims, and assume that beneficiaries will not dispute the denial. Some policies are unclear as to what needs to be done to set a claim in motion, which can make for a very confusing process to claim benefits.

The time limits in which to file a claim can vary greatly. Some policies are governed by state law and other fall under federal law. Sometimes, both can apply. After a claim has been denied, your first step should be to contact a life insurance attorney immediately. Missing deadlines could determine the outcome of your claim negatively.

Attorney Griff Shuler offered some tips for those looking to purchase a life insurance policy:

Always purchase a policy through a reputable company
Make sure your loved ones know about the policy. Not realizing that a family member even had a policy is a contributor to unclaimed benefits.
Tell your beneficiaries where a copy of the policy is kept. They will need that in order to file a claim.

Later in the episode, David Daggett also participated in the Roundtable discussion with Ogi Overman and Keith Grandberry. They talked about current issues, politics, and national news items. Watch the video:

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Olivia Winston

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workers’ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

Daggett Shuler Will Have Your Back

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!

Couldn't Be More Pleased

A wonderful law firm who personally takes care of your issues. Workers’ Comp can be a nightmare in so many ways so it is good to have an exceptional attorney with that experience guiding you through the process. Griff Shuler was my attorney and I couldn’t be more pleased with the way he handled my case.
