Trusted Illinois Insurance Attorney Assists Clients with Claims

Caring lawyer helps policyholders in the Chicago area to hold carriers accountable

At Law Offices of John D. Donlevy, I represent people in the Chicago area and throughout Illinois in claims issues with their insurance carriers. Whether your claim involves life, property, casualty, automotive or disability insurance, I have the knowledge of state and federal insurance law to advocate for your coverage rights when your insurance company fails to abide by the terms of your policy.

Illinois advocate handles a wide range of claims

When you faithfully pay your insurance premiums, you have a right to expect that your claims will be honored. My firm represents policyholders throughout Illinois in a range of insurance claims issues and disputes. I assist with:

• Insurance litigation and appeals
• First-party claims
• Third-party claims
• Claim management consulting
• Motor vehicle claims
• Construction claims
• Analysis and interpretation of insurance policies

For skilled counsel in any of these cases, you can rely on my guidance throughout each step to protect your rights as a policyholder.

Dedicated litigator assists insureds with claim denials

When you buy insurance, you are entering into a contract with your carrier to supply the coverage you've paid for according to the terms of the policy. If your carrier fails to honor your claim based on those terms, I understand the stress it causes and will guide you through the process of holding the company accountable. There are several ways in which insurance companies act in bad faith toward insureds:

• Failing to adequately investigate, approve or deny the claim in a timely manner
• Failing to provide a reasonable explanation for the denial of a claim
• Refusing to pay a claim where liability is reasonably established

If you believe your carrier is denying a claim without merit, I can often help you reach a favorable outcome through a negotiated settlement. If litigation becomes necessary, I can sue for breach of contract and press your rights in court.

Knowledgeable attorney provides the skilled counsel you deserve

Insurance companies are in business to make money, so their bottom line is to pay out as little as possible. Insurance policies are also complicated documents that many policyholders fail to completely understand, and that confusion only contributes to the stress you may feel when your claim is denied. I can alleviate some of that stress by carefully analyzing the terms of your policy and challenging your carrier on a solid legal basis. As an experienced negotiator, I am often able to press insurers to honor their policy obligations for my clients. But if litigation becomes necessary, you can rest assured that I will vigorously defend your rights in court to get you the best possible results.
