Resolving Insurance Claim Disputes in Oregon
Any time you try to settle an insurance claim or coverage dispute yourself, you're at a disadvantage. Insurance companies know the ropes, and chances are that you don't — so you shouldn't be surprised when an insurer uses its superior knowledge and experience against you.
Each of the name partners at Miller & Wagner has many years of experience representing insurance companies in liability and coverage disputes. We know what an insurance company needs to see before it will take your claim seriously, offer the full value of your covered loss, or respect your ability to assert your interests effectively in court. Contact us in Portland for a free consultation with an attorney who can help you even the odds when you're facing the concentrated corporate power of an insurance company.

At Miller & Wagner, our inside perspective on the claims resolution process can help you avoid mistakes while taking full advantage of the rights you have under your insurance policy and Oregon law. We can tell when a delay in the settlement of your claim reflects an honest disagreement about the facts or the extent of your loss on the one hand, or an unreasonable attempt to stall you into compromising your rights on the other.
One advantage that the insurance company always enjoys is the fact that it has the money. If the insurer senses that your need for money soon might force you to accept less than you have coming, it might be tempted to resort to claims settlement practices that take unfair advantage of your weak bargaining power. We know how to identify these tactics for what they are. Our ability to remind insurers of their potential liability for bad faith practices is often all you need to get the full benefit of your coverage.
Our attorneys can help you avoid the frustration and anxiety that people experience when they suspect that their insurance coverage isn't all it should be, but don't know what to do about it. We help people resolve personal injury claims and third-party coverage disputes in a wide variety of insurance situations:
- Car accident claims against the other driver's insurer
- Uninsured or underinsured motorist claims against your own insurer
- Liability claims covered under homeowners' policies
- Casualty claims under homeowners' policies
- Problems involving the denial of defense and indemnification for claims against therapists, chiropractors, dentists and other so-called paramedical professionals
- Coverage of casualty or liability claims for small business owners
Our lawyers can advise you whether your problem involves a denied personal injury claim, an inadequate settlement offer or an improper refusal to defend you under the terms of your liability coverage. Contact Miller & Wagner in Portland for a free consultation about the best ways to recover the compensation you have coming from a reluctant insurance company.
