Quick Facts About Homesite Insurance

Homesite Insurance is an insurance company based out of Boston, Massachusetts. The company was founded over twenty five years ago, in 1997. Homesite initially focused specifically on homeowners insurance. However, the company has since expanded and today they offer a wide variety of insurance products including automobile, home, life, and business insurance coverage.

Auto Accident Victims May Be Entitled To Compensation From Homesite Insurance

Car accidents are a common occurrence in Minnesota. According to data collected by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, nearly 30,000 people involved in car crashes are injured each year in the state of Minnesota. For most of these accident victims, the result is that they face extensive damages. Aside from the physical pain and suffering incurred, often they are subjected to staggering medical bills along with lost wages from work.

Typically the auto accident victim will be able to collect compensation by way of their own auto insurance provider or via the other motorist’s insurance company. Sadly, however, the large insurance companies do not always abide by the maximum amount of compensation that the victim is due. Many times, valid claims are incorrectly denied by Homesite Insurance as well as other insurers.

If Homesite Insurance denied your insurance claim, what are your options? The most important thing to be aware of is that you have legal options at your disposal. You should not automatically assume that your claim is worthless. Contact an experienced Minneapolis car accident attorney who is well-versed in dealing with Homesite Insurance claim denials.

What’s The Difference Between A First And Third Party Claim?

There are two major types of insurance claims: first party claims and third party claims. An example of a first party claim would be if you are a Homesite Insurance customer and you are attempting to bring a claim against your own auto insurance policy with Homesite Insurance. In contrast, an example of a third party claim would be if you attempt to bring a claim against the auto insurance policy of the other motorist who is insured by Homesite Insurance.

In some circumstances you will need to seek a first party claim, while other circumstances necessitate a third party claim. Which type of claim to seek varies based on the specific facts involved in your case. Nonetheless, irrespective of whether you are an actual customer of Homesite Insurance, the company is required to deal with your case in an equitable fashion.

Homesite Insurance Must Act In Good Faith

Homesite Insurance is legally required to process both first party and third party insurance claims using good faith settlement procedures. They are not allowed to deny plainly legitimate claims and they also cannot use the potential to deny a claim unfairly as a negotiation strategy. There are many specific requirements that must be met by the insurance company. If your car accident was dealt with unjustly, then you may be a Homesite Insurance victim of bad faith.

Bad faith insurance victims qualify for compensation equal to the entire value of their damages. In addition to the original claim value, they may be granted further monetary aid. Here are some indications that could demonstrate Homesite Insurance to be processing your claim in bad faith:

    • Failure to communicate properly
    • Excessive delays
    • Failure to include relevant facts
    • Inaccurate characterization of the insurance policy
  • Not fully examining your claim
  • Unfairly refusing coverage
  • Excessive requirements for paperwork
  • Failure to fully compensate the claim
