Common Life Insurance Disputes We Handle in Cape Coral
Policy Lapse and Missed Payments
Was the grace period honored? Did the insurer issue proper notice under Florida law? We investigate and challenge unfair terminations.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Denials
We fight exclusions tied to alcohol, drugs, criminal activity, or hazardous conditions, especially when the cause of death is mischaracterized.
Contested Beneficiaries
We represent rightful claimants in disputes involving handwritten changes, last-minute updates, or conflicting documents.
Federal and Group Policies
Including FEGLI, SGLI, and ERISA-regulated employer policies. These require strict compliance with administrative procedures, we ensure it's done right.
Misrepresentation Allegations
We dismantle insurer arguments based on alleged application errors by proving the omissions were minor, immaterial, or unrelated to the death.
Cape Coral Case Highlights
$312,000 secured after a lapse denial involving an elderly insured in Burnt Store. We proved the premium notice was never mailed.
5189,000 recovered after an AD&D claim was denied following a boating accident near the Caloosahatchee River. The insurer cited alcohol, but toxicology results told another story.

-
A grace period is the time after a missed payment during which the policy remains in force, usually 30 to 60 days depending on state law and policy terms.
-
No. In most states, insurers must send a written notice of overdue premiums and warn of pending lapse before terminating coverage.
-
The policy may still be enforceable. Beneficiaries can challenge the lapse based on the insurer’s failure to provide required notice.
-
Yes. If the insured dies during the grace period, the policy is still considered active, and benefits should be paid.
-
Yes. In group life insurance policies, employers sometimes fail to forward premiums properly, leading to wrongful lapse denials.
-
Yes. If automatic payment setups fail through no fault of the insured, lapses may be challenged.
-
Some policies automatically borrow against cash value to cover missed payments. Failure to apply this correctly can lead to wrongful lapse claims.
-
Possibly. Some courts excuse nonpayment if the insured was mentally incapacitated and missed premiums without proper notice.
-
No. Reinstatement must occur while the insured is alive, but wrongful lapse denials can still be challenged posthumously.
-
Not without following strict notice and grace period rules. Beneficiaries can often challenge technical denials.
-
Deadlines vary by state, but it’s critical to act within 1 to 5 years depending on the policy and jurisdiction.
-
Not necessarily. Payments mailed within grace periods or accepted by insurers may keep coverage active.
-
Bank records, payment receipts, insurer correspondence, and premium notices are key evidence.
-
If the insurer used an outdated address despite updated information, lapse denials can often be overturned.
-
Possibly. If the insured submitted a reinstatement application before death, it may help challenge a lapse denial.
-
In some states, special grace periods and protections applied during COVID-19 emergencies. They can help fight wrongful lapses.
-
Only if the insurer followed all legal notice and grace period requirements. Otherwise, beneficiaries may still recover.
-
Misapplied premiums can lead to wrongful lapses — and courts often hold insurers accountable for these errors.
-
An attorney can obtain records, challenge improper lapses, negotiate settlements, and litigate if necessary to enforce payment.
