Honolulu & Hawaii Insurance Claims Attorney

Mishandling of insurance claims seems to be on the rise among the insurance industry. Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks, prominent injury law firm in Honolulu, Hawaii, handles a few select major insurance related cases on behalf of insured policyholders whose rights have been denied.

For example, we have worked on a life insurance case involving 800 policyholders whose rates were raised improperly. We have represented a doctor who was disabled at a young age and was denied the lifetime disability insurance benefits he was entitled to according to policy terms and premiums already paid.

Contact an experienced insurance claim lawyer in Honolulu, Hawaii, to schedule an initial consultation regarding a major occurrence of insurance fraud or bad faith, having to do with medical insurance, homeowners insurance, disability insurance, life insurance or auto insurance.

Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks represents individuals and businesses that have suffered from wrongful denial of insurance benefits or unfair insurance tactics. We have recovered benefits for those who have been cheated or treated unfairly by their insurance company. We have handled insurance disputes involving many types of insurance, including, automobile, homeowners, commercial liability, disability, medical/health, business interruption, maritime and aviation policies.

We are a leader in establishing insurance law in the State of Hawaii and have won important decisions in the courts. Our attorneys are frequently asked to present seminars and workshops on insurance claim issues to other lawyers, insurance company claims personnel, insurance underwriters, insurance agents and legislators. Our attorneys have also been asked by insurance companies to serve as arbitrators and mediators to resolve insurance disputes between insurance companies.
