Insurance claims

Denied or underpaid?

Every insurance policy in Florida carries an implied duty of good faith. Here's what policyholders ask us most.

Free policy review305-503-5322
Can insurance companies refuse to pay claims?

Carriers can — but you have every right to fight back. Once a claims investigator formally denies your loss, they've already built a record to defend that denial. An experienced attorney can challenge that record and pursue the compensation you're owed.

How long does an insurer have to settle a claim in Florida?

Under Florida law, insurance companies have 90 days to notify you whether they've accepted or denied your claim. If approved, they must pay within 20 days of that decision.

How can I tell if my claim was wrongfully denied?

Warning signs include immediate denial without explanation, lack of a thorough investigation, deliberate misrepresentation of your policy, prolonged delays, or significant underpayment relative to your coverage. Any of these may signal bad faith.

What should I do if I'm offered a low settlement?

Don't accept it. A knowledgeable attorney can independently calculate the full value of your covered damages under Florida law and negotiate — or litigate — for the amount you actually deserve.

What should I avoid saying to an insurance adjuster?

Never apologize or admit any kind of fault. Claims adjusters are trained to look for reasons to reduce the insurer's liability, and an offhand admission can seriously compromise your claim.

Can I sue an insurance company in Florida?

Yes. If your insurer violates the terms of your policy, refuses to pay what it owes, or acts in bad faith, Florida law allows you to bring a lawsuit against them.

Injury & Accidents

Personal Injury

Injuries change your life in an instant. They lead to pain, emotional trauma and time off work. In some cases, an injury can even result in permanent disability or death. If you or someone you love was injured because of another party's actions or negligence, you may be able to recover damages by filing a personal injury claim.

About personal injury claims

Claims may result from a variety of situations, ranging from car and boating accidents to slip and falls. When a claim is successful, the victim or the victim's family can receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering — but legal action must be taken within a specific amount of time after the incident.

Why timing matters

Personal injury cases can be complicated, and Florida legislation is constantly changing. If you don't receive medical attention immediately after your injury, you may unknowingly forfeit your rights — and you will forfeit them if you fail to file your claim before the statute of limitations expires.

Car Accident & PIP Claims

Damages from car accidents can quickly tally up, with medical bills and other expenses putting a dent in your wallet. Personal injury protection (PIP) is no-fault coverage that pays expenses for policyholders and passengers no matter who caused the collision.

What PIP may cover

How we build your case

PIP coverage is complex. Attorney Robert J. Lee can help you figure out what's covered and how much is allowed, and can assist with filing a lawsuit against the other driver. We investigate how the accident occurred — obtaining police reports, accident scene photos, photos of physical damage and accident reconstruction — and gather the medical documentation needed to show direct cause and value your case.

Injury & Accidents

Semi-Truck Accidents

Commercial vehicles weigh up to 80,000 pounds, making impacts with standard passenger cars devastating. When a crash occurs in South Florida, you face complex federal regulations, aggressive insurance adjusters and high-stakes disputes involving multiple corporate parties.

Potentially liable parties

Evidence we move quickly to secure

Trucking companies dispatch risk-management teams to the scene within hours of a major wreck. To level the playing field, we move rapidly to preserve:

Injury & Accidents

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists enjoy the freedom of the open road, but face extreme vulnerability in a collision. Unlike occupants of enclosed passenger cars, riders have minimal protection against direct physical impact — and a crash can leave you with heavy medical expenses, lost income and physical pain.

Overcoming insurance bias

Insurance companies frequently try to shift the blame onto motorcyclists, using anti-rider bias to reduce or deny payouts. We counter these tactics with objective evidence gathered from the moment you contact our office. Whether your accident involved a negligent driver failing to yield, lane-splitting disputes, sudden stops or distracted driving, we build a clear, evidence-based strategy that points directly to driver fault.

Trial-ready from the start

By preparing every claim as if it will go before a judge and jury, we make sure adjusters treat you fairly and offer real solutions that match your long-term medical and financial needs.

Premises Liability & Slip and Fall

Property owners in Miami are legally obligated to keep their premises safe for guests, visitors and customers. When an owner neglects standard maintenance, fails to address hazardous conditions or ignores security concerns, innocent people suffer severe injuries — at shopping malls, apartment buildings, hotels and private residences alike.

Cases we handle

Proving property owner negligence

To win a premises liability claim in Florida, you must show that the owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty and directly caused your injuries. Owners often clean up hazards immediately after an accident, which makes rapid, independent evidence collection crucial. Our team launches that investigation right away.

Bad Faith & Denied Claims

An insurance policy is a contract. When you suffer a covered loss, you expect the insurer to investigate fairly and pay what the policy requires. We help Miami and South Florida policyholders challenge denied, delayed and underpaid claims.

Common bad-faith tactics

A denial letter isn't the final word

Florida law requires residential property insurers to provide a reasonable written explanation when denying or partially denying a claim. Policy language, exclusions, causation, repair estimates and documentation can all affect whether the insurer's position holds up. We investigate the dispute, identify the relevant policy provisions, gather evidence, communicate with the carrier and pursue litigation when necessary.

Property Insurance Claims

First-party property claims are disputes directly between you and your insurance provider. You pay premiums expecting protection when disaster strikes. When insurers delay, undervalue or deny valid claims, we bring extensive trial experience and direct legal pressure to hold them accountable.

Foreclosure Defense

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state: lenders must file a formal lawsuit in court to foreclose on a home. That requirement gives property owners crucial procedural protections and the legal right to present a defense. Early intervention is key.

Strategies we use

Lenders know we don't back down in court, and that creates significant leverage during settlement negotiations.

Contract Litigation

When one party fails to honor an agreement, the consequences can affect cash flow, operations, property rights and important business relationships. We represent individuals and businesses in Miami and throughout South Florida when contract disputes require decisive legal action.

Is it a legally actionable breach?

A disagreement doesn't automatically amount to a breach. The terms of the contract, each party's obligations, performance and resulting damages all matter. We evaluate the agreement, the conduct of each party and the financial impact of the dispute to determine the strongest path toward enforcement or resolution.

Enforcing your rights

Depending on the circumstances, resolving the dispute may involve formal demands, negotiation, mediation or litigation. When a negotiated resolution protects your interests, we pursue it strategically. When court action is necessary, we're prepared to litigate.

Car Dealership Fraud

Buying a car is a stressful process. Buying one from an unscrupulous dealership is a nightmare. Florida law protects consumers from predatory dealership practices, and if you were wronged in your vehicle purchase, you may be entitled to recover damages.

DUI Defense

The first 24 to 72 hours after an arrest are critical. In Florida, you have a strict 10-day window following an arrest to request an administrative hearing with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) under F.S. § 322.2615. Acting fast helps protect your driving privileges, your record and your freedom.
