Denver, Colorado Feb 11, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - The Marshall Fire blazed through Colorado in an unlikely period of time.  While most families gathered to celebrate the Holiday Season, families in Colorado sought refuge and ways to rebuild their homes.  Because of these trying times, Furtado Law was motivated to partner with the Wildfire Recovery Team in an effort to rebuild the lives of those who needed help. For those that are unfamiliar with or new to Furtado Law, this will allow you to get to know one of the top insurance litigation firms in the nation.

Practice Areas 

Headquartered in Colorado, today Furtado Law offers representation to a number of policyholders who feel that they may have been delayed, denied, or otherwise have been adversely affected by the action of an insurance company. Here are the current practice areas offered by the firm. 

Natural Disasters and Wildfire

Due to the changing nature of the climate, natural disasters, and wildfires have become more of a fact of life to people across the country. In the west, wildfire season has expanded and the damage inflicted has become more intense. Due to the increasing incidents of wildfires, some insurance companies have become less responsive to claims. In some cases, insurance companies have outright denied claims altogether. 

Furtado Law represents both residential and commercial policyholders who have claims due to loss from natural disasters and wildfires. The firm can provide the necessary pressure on insurers to ensure the speedy payout of a client's insurance claims. 

Duty to Defend and Duty to Indemnify

Construction sites can be a dangerous place for everyone from workers to inspectors,  contractors, and anyone else who works in the area. Additionally, there are a number of parties that can be responsible for any incidents that can occur on the site. Anyone from the homeowner to the contractor to a subcontractor can be held responsible.

To ensure that there is distributed risk across all groups, there are provisions in a place known as the Duty to Defend and the Duty to Indemnify. However, when an accident takes place, the question of who is ultimately responsible can be murky and confusing. This could lead to the victim of an accident be to lost in legal purgatory. Furtado Law has experience dealing with various jurisdictions and is able to navigate through the differences between the Duty to Defend and the Duty to Indemnify. The law firm can use its years of expertise to assist each individual case. 

Amount of Loss and Fair Appraisals 

If a policyholder and an insurance company are not on the same page when it comes to the amount of loss in a claim, the policyholder can be left in a difficult situation. From car accidents to fire damage to a home, policyholders need an immediate resolution to their claim. However, many insurance companies tend to create a difficult situation by underestimating the amount of loss they are willing to pay on a claim.

Furtado Law holds insurance companies accountable when it comes to a fair appraisal process. The firm uses a "Proof of Loss" declaration under penalty of perjury. Throughout the claims process, the firm fights to ensure that a proper appraisal is performed on behalf of the client. 

Life Insurance Broker Liability

A life insurance broker is a professional who is hired by a future policyholder to find the optimal coverage. In some cases, the life insurance broker may misrepresent the nature, scope, or extent of the coverage. In other cases, the life insurance broker may reduce coverage limits without the insured's consent. To protect policyholders from the negligent, illegal, or unethical actions of a life insurance broker, Furtado Law PC will represent the policyholder in any potential legal actions. 

Life Insurance Claim Denials 

Many beneficiaries find themselves in a harrowing situation of having to deal with investigations of a loved one's death that could deny or delay a life insurance claim. Various clauses in a policy such as the "contestability clause" can be used by insurance companies to wrong deny a beneficiary of a life insurance claim. To provide the necessary amount of legal pressure on an insurance company's actions, Furtado Law represents clients in life insurance claim denial situations.
