At Nicos Rossos Insurance Brokers, we understand how stressful and disappointing it can be to receive a claim rejection from your insurer, especially at a time when you need support the most. Whether it’s a health, home, auto, or travel insurance claim, a denial doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the road.
With over 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, we’ve helped many of our clients successfully navigate rejected claims. If this situation has happened to you, here’s what we recommend — and how we can help.

Step 1: Carefully Read the Rejection Letter
The first step after receiving a denial is to read the rejection letter in detail. This document outlines the insurer’s justification for refusing the claim. While the language may be technical or hard to interpret, it contains key information.
Common Reasons for Insurance Claim Denial
- Submission after the deadline
- Insufficient documentation
- Policy exclusions (events or items not covered)
- Inactive or lapsed policy
- Lack of medical or legal evidence
Step 2: Review Your Policy With a Professional
Insurance policies can be complex, filled with terms and conditions that are not always easy to interpret. That’s where our expertise as brokers becomes essential. We will:
- Compare the rejection reasoning with your actual coverage
- Identify potential misinterpretations of your policy
- Highlight clauses that may support your right to claim
At Nicos Rossos Insurance Brokers, we act as your advocate — ensuring that your policy is being interpreted and applied fairly. Many rejections are reversible once we clarify the correct application of the policy terms.
Step 3: Strengthen Your Case with Additional Evidence
In many cases, claims are rejected due to a lack of sufficient evidence. We assist our clients in gathering the necessary documentation to strengthen the claim, such as:
- Photographic evidence or video
- Professional assessments or repair estimates
- Police reports, medical records, or hospital discharge papers
- Receipts and purchase confirmations
- Independent expert opinions
If documentation was missing or incomplete in the original submission, we help you organize a comprehensive resubmission that clearly supports your case.
Step 4: Submit a Formal Appeal
Every insurer offers a process for reviewing denied claims. This appeal must be submitted properly, within a set time frame, and with all relevant evidence included.
This stage is critical, and a well-structured appeal often results in the claim being accepted without needing further escalation.
Step 5: Review and Improve Your Coverage
After any claim — especially a rejected one — it’s wise to review your existing insurance portfolio. We conduct full coverage audits for our clients to ensure:
- Your policies reflect your current needs
- You’re protected against similar scenarios in the future
- There are no unexpected exclusions or gaps
Insurance is not just about peace of mind — it’s about preparedness, and we make sure our clients are always one step ahead.
