We Resolve Beneficiary Disputes and Interpleader Lawsuits in Salt Lake City
Insurers often avoid paying claims when multiple parties claim the same policy benefits. This can lead to beneficiary disputes or interpleader lawsuits, where the insurance company sues the potential beneficiaries and leaves the courts to decide. These cases frequently involve:
Ex-spouses vs. current partners
Conflicting beneficiary designation forms
Allegations of fraud, coercion, or undue influence
Disputes among children from different marriages
Divorce orders that contradict insurance paperwork
Our firm is nationally recognized for litigating and resolving interpleader lawsuits in both Utah state and federal court. We aggressively protect your rights and fight to make sure the correct beneficiary receives the full payout.

Our Clients Speak Volumes
The Right Choice for Your Claim
-
“My husband didn’t list a prior policy cancellation, and they used that to deny our claim. Lassen Law proved it was irrelevant and unrelated to the cause of death. We received the benefit without a prolonged legal battle.”- Daniel S.
-
“They tried to deny my mom’s claim by referencing a vague exclusion clause. Christian quickly proved the exclusion didn’t apply. What seemed impossible at first became a closed case thanks to their persistence.”- Thomas E.
-
“My mom died after a non-traditional medical procedure, and the insurer refused to pay. Lassen Law proved the treatment had nothing to do with the cause of death. They fought like it was their own family involved.”- Emily N.
-
“They rejected our claim, saying the treatment my wife was undergoing wasn’t FDA-approved. The Lassen team got expert testimony and proved the procedure wasn’t the cause of death. That made all the difference.”- Anthony J.
-
“I was told the life insurance policy had lapsed due to unpaid premiums. But Christian Lassen's team proved the company had failed to send proper notice. They fought back and got the policy reinstated retroactively. I’m incredibly grateful.”- James L.
-
“They said my brother’s death during a jet ski accident wasn’t covered because it was a high-risk activity. Lassen Law Firm carefully reviewed the policy and forced the insurer to pay up. Their legal arguments were rock solid.”- Laura P.
-
“The insurer said there was a misstatement in the application and flat-out denied the claim. I contacted the Lassen Law Firm, and they immediately launched a legal challenge. In the end, they got the full benefit paid without me even stepping into a courtroom.”- Karen D.
-
“We were told the policy lapsed before my mother died. But we had receipts showing otherwise. Lassen Law Firm used them to force the company to honor the contract. They don’t mess around.”- David K.
-
“They accused my husband of intentionally misleading the insurer about a health issue. I was devastated. The Lassen team gathered the medical history, showed it was an honest mistake, and forced a reversal of the denial.”- Maria G.
