- Insufficient Evidence: You may not have provided enough documentation, photographs, or other proof to support your claim.
- Late Filing: If you file your claim past the deadline set by your insurance policy, it may be denied.
- Failure to Pay Premiums: Non-payment of premiums can lead to a policy cancellation or a denied claim.
- Dispute Over the Cause of Loss: The insurance company may deny your claim if they disagree about the cause of the damage or determine that the damage is not covered under your policy.
