Hurricane Sandy Insurance Companies Deny Delay Defend Claims

Great story by 60 Minutes on Hurricane Sandy about the #DenyDelayDefend tactics used by the insurance companies to minimize the claims of Hurricane Sandy victims.

Hurricane Sandy Insurance Tactics Similar to Auto Insurance

I was struck by how similar the tactics used to deny benefits to natural disaster victims are to those used to deny claims made by victims in auto accidents in Maryland.

Sound familiar:

1. The victim pays their monthly insurance premium.
2. Disaster strikes.
3. The victim is injured.
4. The victim makes an insurance claim.
5. The insurance company’s #DenyDelayDefend tactics begin.
6. The victim tries to reason with the insurance company.
7. The insurance company’s #DenyDelayDefend tactics continue.
8. The victim retains a personal injury attorney to go toe-to-toe with the insurance company’s #DenyDelayDefend tactics.
9. The victim’s personal injury attorney exposes the insurance company’s fraud.
10. The insurance company backs down.

It’s amazing how the same insurance tactics are used to minimize large natural disasters and small rear end Maryland auto accidents.  Kudos to Mostyn Law for exposing the truth and fighting for their Hurricane Sandy clients.
