If your car accident claim was denied by USAA, you could still have options that might allow you to recover damages from the at-fault driver or their insurer. A car accident attorney can help you file an appeal and continue to pursue compensation from the insurance company. If bad faith insurance practice played a role in your denial, you can even take the insurance company to court.
Your lawyer can also help you take the at-fault driver to court, if necessary. You do not have to accept a refusal from USAA without fighting back. A lawyer can help you build a strong initial claim or appeal a denied claim. With legal guidance and support, you can recover the costs of your medical bills, loss of income, pain and suffering, and more.
Reasons USAA Might Give For Denying Your Claim
When the at-fault driver’s insurance company denies your claim, you should be provided with written notice and explanation of their decision. If you are represented by a car accident lawyer, they will request a copy of this notice and help you build a strong case to refute their allegations which can include:
- The policyholder’s insurance lapsed
- The evidence does not support liability
- You bear some or all responsibility
- The policy in question was misunderstood
- Failure to meet the statute of limitations
- Failure to provide appropriate documentation
- Bad faith insurance practices
You do not have to fight these allegations alone. Your lawyer will help you fight back against any and all of these reasons for denial.

- The filing deadline can be unclear.
- Some factors can alter the deadline.
- The deadline can be misinterpreted.
When your case is handled by a personal injury law firm, their legal team will ensure the appropriate filing deadline is met.
