Insurance companies will commonly refuse to approve a claim in a timely manner and request that the insured submit to an examination under oath with a court reporter present. This is a sworn statement upon which the insurance company will base its claim decision. Typically, if the insurance company is asking for an examination under oath, it means that your claim is being investigated for possible fraud, and that the insurance company is seeking to deny the claim.
It is important to hire legal representation prior to submitting to an examination under oath because the insurance company has already hired an attorney. A law firm with significant knowledge of the insurance industry can be your greatest asset as you move through the process. The attorney you hire can also mean the difference between the ultimate approval or denial of your claim.
