  Should your insurance company tell you that there is no coverage for your claim, be sure to have your claim reviewed by legal counsel and do not take no for an answer.  Just because an insurance adjuster or insurance company tells you no does not mean that they are right.  Always seek the help of a lawyer if the insurance company wants you to give a written statement or submit to an examination under oath (EUO).  In making your claim, you must do so in a timely manner and fully cooperate with the insurance company.  Failure to comply with the requirements of your insurance policy could invalidate your claim.   An insurance company will most likely have a lawyer advising it every step of the way during the claims process and so should you.
