Are You Facing an Unfair Insurance Denial?
Your Coverage Matters. Let Us Help You Enforce It.
Dealing with an insurance company denial can be a deeply frustrating and emotionally draining experience. When you purchase insurance, whether for your health, disability, life, or long-term care, you do so with the belief that you’ll be protected during life’s most vulnerable moments. But when that safety net is unexpectedly pulled away, it can leave you scrambling for answers, medical care, and financial stability. At DL Law Group, we stand beside policyholders across San Francisco and the greater Bay Area who their insurers have let down. With over three decades of experience, we provide the skilled legal support and aggressive advocacy necessary to overturn unfair claim denials and delays.
Our Accomplished Team of Attorneys
With over 80 years of combined legal experience, the attorneys at DL Law Group have successfully represented thousands of individuals and families who have faced wrongful insurance claim denials. Our team is deeply knowledgeable in both state and federal insurance laws, including ERISA, the California Insurance Code, the Mental Health Parity Act, and the rules governing bad faith insurance practices. We've taken on some of the largest insurance companies in the country, securing millions of dollars in recoveries for our clients. Whether the denial is due to a misunderstanding of the policy, intentional bad faith, or a tactic to wear you down, our lawyers are here to hold insurers accountable and fight for the benefits you were promised.
Understanding Insurance Company Denials
It’s essential to acknowledge that insurance companies are profit-driven entities. Their incentive is often to minimize payouts, rather than to ensure you receive the care or compensation you’re owed. As a result, they may use various strategies to deny or delay your claim, including:
- Arguing that your treatment or service is not “medically necessary”
- Claiming the procedure or medication is “experimental” or “off-label”
- Citing policy exclusions or technicalities buried in the fine print
- Misinterpreting your policy in their favor
- Demanding excessive documentation or conflicting medical opinions
- Delaying communication to run out the clock on appeals
These tactics can be especially harmful when dealing with severe medical conditions, disabilities, or the aftermath of a loved one’s death. A denial can mean postponed treatment, missed bills, or the inability to care for yourself or your family.
At DL Law Group, we are familiar with these tactics inside and out. Our attorneys are skilled at navigating insurance red tape, challenging unfair denials, and compelling carriers to fulfill their obligations under the law.

Denied Doesn’t Mean Defeated: What to Do Next
Receiving a denial letter is not the end, it’s the beginning of your legal rights. Do not give up. Insurance companies are counting on you to walk away. Instead, take these critical next steps:
- Do not appeal the decision alone. Many policies allow only one administrative appeal, and the information submitted becomes the official record if the case proceeds to litigation.
- Gather all relevant documents, including your insurance policy, denial letter, correspondence with the insurer, and medical records.
- Contact us as soon as possible. Timing is crucial, and a well-crafted legal strategy is essential. A well-prepared appeal or complaint can significantly improve your chances of success.
