Insurance Law

Under California law, insurance companies must follow strict deadlines when responding to accident and injury claims. They have 15 days to acknowledge a claim and 40 days to accept or deny it after receiving proof of loss. If they delay or fail to provide written updates every 30 days, they may be violating state regulations. Understanding these timelines helps accident victims recognize unfair practices and take steps to protect their rights.

California Subrogation Law gives insurers the right to recover payments made after an accident, but it can also reduce your injury settlement if mishandled. The Friel Law Firm helps Stockton clients protect their compensation by challenging unfair liens and negotiating directly with insurers for a fair outcome.
