When State Farm or another insurance company denies a pedestrian accident claim or any other claim, this doesn’t necessarily mean the claim is resolved. A pedestrian accident lawyer from our firm can appeal the decision or even file a lawsuit. There may be additional options open to you and your lawyer.
If your pedestrian accident claim got denied by State Farm or another insurer, we want to help. We’ll start by exploring your options during a free case review, and then we’ll get to work on recovering your much needed compensation.
What Happens If An Insurance Claim Gets Denied?
When a claim is denied, the claimant is denied any benefits or compensation, but that doesn’t mean the claim is resolved. The claimant can still pursue compensation, such as by appealing the claim denial.

ClientWhat To Do When Your State Farm Insurance Claim Is Denied
Depending on which state you live in, you may be in one of two situations. You may be a State Farm customer and have filed your claim against them. Alternatively, you may have filed your claim against the auto insurer of a motorist who’s insured by State Farm.
Even if you’re not a State Farm customer, you deserve to be respected, and your claim deserves to be considered. In fact, State Farm has a legal obligation to act in good faith, so they cannot deny a clearly valid claim.
If you believe your claim is valid and State Farm denied it in bad faith, you may be entitled to compensation for the value of the claim as well as additional recompense. If the insurer denied your claim for another reason, you may still be entitled to compensation. To obtain your due compensation, you can:
- Attempt to negotiate by yourself
- File a demand letter
- File a bad faith claim
- Try suing the insurer
- Appeal the decision
- Hire an attorney to do any of those things for you

Rick Smith | ClientThe Benefits Of Hiring A Pedestrian Accident Attorney From Our Firm
One of our firm’s attorneys can pursue your due compensation for you. There are many benefits of leaving your claim to an attorney from our firm, such as being able to relax and recover without having to worry about legal matters. Here’s exactly how your attorney can help you:
Your Attorney Can Help Determine How to Proceed
Since there are many different options open to you, such as negotiating with the insurer, you’ll want to pursue the best option for your particular situation. Your attorney can review your denial letter to get a better understanding of your situation. After that, your attorney can help you decide which option would be best for you.
If your lawyer determines you need additional evidence for your case, your lawyer can help collect this evidence and corroborating evidence and then present it to the insurer.
Your Attorney Can Pursue Compensation For You
State Farm may be willing to negotiate with your attorney. If so, your attorney will negotiate aggressively on your behalf.
Alternatively, your attorney can both draft and file a demand letter for compensation. In this letter, your attorney could state you’re willing to bring a bad faith claim against the insurer if they’ve engaged in any bad faith practices.
Your Lawyer Can Sue State Farm
If it suits your case, your lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit against the insurer. On top of that, your lawyer may be able to bring a bad faith insurance claim against the insurer.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientHow Do I Appeal A Claim Denial From State Farm?
You can speak to State Farm directly and ask them to send you paperwork for an appeal. However, you may want to speak with a lawyer from our firm, first.
The attorney can ensure your administrative appeal is filled out and filed properly. Additionally, your attorney can present it to the insurer in a very compelling way, which could help to promote a fair resolution.
