Taylor & Blair LLP is a boutique law firm that has been serving the citizens of British Columbia for over 30 years. We have expertise in insurance denials (long-term disability, life insurance, critical illness insurance, mortgage protection insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, etc.), personal injury law, labour and employment law, and elder law.
The one thing most people do not expect after years of paying premiums for insurance to ensure you can make it through hard times is having your legitimate claim be denied by your insurer. The unfortunate reality is that insurance companies often deny fair claims.
When an insurance claim is denied, managing the fallout can be overwhelming for you and your loved ones. If your claim has been denied, you will want to discuss your options with a lawyer who can handle taking on the large insurance companies. The lawyers at Taylor & Blair LLP have years of experience dealing with insurance companies and will fight hard to make sure you get a fair deal.
Taylor & Blair LLP offers contingency fee agreements which mean that you don’t pay a fee unless we collect for you.
Our 40 years of experience gets results − more than 95% of our cases are settled out of court without a trial. We listen and we’re easy to talk to. We keep you informed about your case, answer your questions, and explain your options in language you can understand.
Vancouver Insurance Denial Lawyers
Taylor & Blair LLP was founded in 1993 by Graham Taylor and Kevin Blair. The firm has grown over the years from a boutique personal injury law practice to a team of trial lawyers also offering insurance denial services, employment law, and estate litigation, as well as other areas of law. Our lawyers serve help people across British Columbia from our head office on West Broadway as well as six (6) community offices across the Lower Mainland.
When you hire us, we will be the professionals who will work on your file. The lawyer you meet with in your first meeting will most likely be the lawyer who handles your case until it is completed. You will work together with your lawyer and paralegal to sort through details and create a strong case. We take the time to make sure we fully understand the extent of your injuries, illness, or bereavement, the legal issues involved in your case, explain your options to you, and keep you informed about the progress of your case.
Insurance Denial Cases
After an accident, illness, or bereavement, an insurance claim denial often puts an increased amount of financial burden on you or your family. It may not be obvious where to turn. The lawyers at Taylor & Blair LLP have expertise in helping individuals obtain fair compensation from large insurance companies.
Receiving legal advice is often vital in challenging a denied claim. Our team of experienced insurance denial lawyers will take care to review your case, identify the likely reasons behind the denial, and work to help you get the decision reversed. Often claims are denied over allegations of misrepresentations, which include alleged violations of coverage conditions, exclusion of risk, or defects in proof of loss, all of which can be difficult to navigate without the experience and knowledge necessary to understand the nuances of insurance policies.
We have years of experience working with all forms of legal dispute resolution (negotiation, mediation and court) that exist in BC to deal with disputes with insurance companies. We have successfully appeared for clients in cases in the British Columbia Provincial Court, British Columbia Supreme Court, the British Columbia Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Canada.
