Are
there any options for resolving a dispute with my insurance company other
than suing the company in court? Arbitration
Some insurance
policies contain a provision allowing or requiring arbitration of certain
disputes between the insurance company and the insured, and this may
include disputes regarding certain types of claims.
"Arbitration" is a procedure for resolving disputes by use of
neutral, private individuals ('arbitrators") as an alternative to a
lawsuit, and it often is a cheaper and faster method of resolving contract
disputes as compared with a court proceeding. This procedure usually is
not available unless specifically stated in the policy or unless the
insurance company and policyholder mutually agree to submit their dispute
to arbitration.
