If Nationwide denied your bicycle accident claim, you may be able to appeal the denial. An attorney from our firm can lead the appeals process for you. First, we’ll determine why Nationwide denied your claim.
Our firm can gather evidence and handle the claims process for you. Our services may be especially helpful if you’re recovering from injuries, as bicycle accident victims often are.
Why Might Nationwide Deny A Bicycle Accident Claim?
The denial of an insurance claim is not the end of the road for bicycle accident victims. In order to seek a new, favorable decision, we will need to determine why Nationwide issued its denial.
Some reasons why Nationwide might deny a bicycle accident claim include:
- You contributed to your bicycle accident: Depending on the details of your bicycle accident and insurance policy, Nationwide may claim that your actions caused your collision and, as a result, your policy does not cover your damages.
- You did not prove the connection between your bicycle accident and resulting damages: You may need to provide additional evidence of the link between your bicycle accident, resulting injuries, and other damages.
- Your accident falls outside the scope of your insurance policy: Even if Nationwide does not claim you caused your accident, it may claim that your accident—or certain resulting damages—are not covered by your policy.
Each claim is unique, and Nationwide may have given you reasons other than these for denying your bicycle claim. Perhaps Nationwide has yet to give you a complete explanation for why your claim was denied.
Our firm will determine exactly why Nationwide has yet to provide you fair coverage, even if we need to dig to find that reason.
Errors By Nationwide Could Lead To A Claim Denial
It is not certain that Nationwide has given you a fair or honest reason for denying your claim. It is possible that Nationwide has made a clerical error or given a dishonest reason for denying your claim.
Nationwide may have denied your claim because:
- It hopes that you will accept the denial without putting up a fight: Insurance companies like Nationwide generally benefit financially if they don’t pay a claim. Nationwide may have hoped that you would not appeal its denial of your bicycle accident claim.
- It believes that you will not reread your policy: If you don’t fully understand your policy, Nationwide may believe that you won’t pursue an appeal. Rather, the insurance company may hope that you will take its word that your policy doesn’t cover your losses. With our help, we will absolutely review your policy and claim.
- It has the resources to fight your appeal: Nationwide is a national insurance company and has plenty of resources on its side. It may be prepared to fight against your claim, but we’re just as prepared to fight for your claim.
There are multiple ways to seek the insurance compensation you’re entitled to. Our firm can explain your options, whether it is an appeal, lawsuit, or other type of action.

How We May Help With Your Nationwide Insurance Claim Appeal
When you hire our firm, expect us to take the lead in your claim. If you’ve already received a denial from Nationwide, this may mean starting the appeals process for you.
Some of the ways we help those facing claim denials include:
- Examining your policy: Insurance policies are generally complex, with fine print that can make a difference in your claim. Our team understands how to read these policies with a critical eye. We will get a copy of applicable insurance policies and review them in detail.
- Gathering facts and evidence from your bicycle accident: The strength of your claim or appeal may depend on evidence we collect for you. Video footage, witness accounts, and other evidence may prove that someone else caused your bicycle accident. This may be a necessary step in securing insurance compensation.
- Determining which insurance coverage you’re entitled to: After reviewing applicable policies and the facts of your bicycle accident, we’ll determine exactly how much insurance coverage you deserve.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: As part of the appeals process, our attorneys may negotiate directly with Nationwide on your behalf.
Our motivation is to get the insurance coverage you deserve. Whether the coverage comes through the appeals process or other avenues, we won’t stop until we’ve resolved your Nationwide claim.
