Insurance Related Claims

Insurance Law

To the average person, insurance policies and contracts may seem long and intricate. But inside the legalese is very precise language that outlines what is covered by the policy, and what are the legal obligations of both sides.

Of course, that doesn't make it any less complicated. That's why you should choose a law firm that specializes in insurance and works with this complex area of law every day. Petrone & Partners provides a wide range of services related to insurance law to help guide you through the legal jargon. Our partners and associates have years of experience working within the intricate insurance law system to provide you with solid legal advice and, if need be, legal representation in any dispute.

Long-Term Disability Insurance Claims

Recovery after an accident including an injury on the job or in a car accident can sometimes be long. Unfortunately, many victims of these types of injuries never fully recover. They may have long-term costs including medications and rehab, and may not be able to go back to work. To make matters worse, long-term disability claims can be denied or be simply cut off by your insurance company or that of your employer. Where does that leave you?

Petrone & Partners will stand up for your best interests so you'll get the settlement you need and deserve. We'll help you determine what your long-term costs may be over the years, and then fight to get the compensation to cover them.

Driving without Insurance

It's illegal to drive in Ontario without car insurance. If you are caught, you face fines between $6,250 and $25,000. If you are in an accident, your legal troubles could be even worse – even if the accident wasn't your fault.

In some cases, you may think you have valid car insurance only to find out that your insurance company is denying coverage when you need it most. They're hoping you just accept their judgement and take on all the costs yourself.

Petrone & Partners can help you in all situations. Whether it is getting a reduction in your fine, defending your rights in an accident claim, or reviewing your insurance policy that's been denied to pursue coverage, we will provide you with solid legal advice and representation.

Property Loss Insurance Claims

In some cases, insurance companies may deny claims on property loss, even if you believe you have full coverage. This can happen for a variety of reasons from something as serious as a criminal investigation to a simple clerical error. Regardless of the reason, it's a devastating feeling to think that you may have to pay for all the damages yourself. Petrone & Partners can help you make that claim against the insurance company and get the compensation you were promised.
