Common Denied Claims Claim Problems in Geelong
Insurance companies use their own assessors who are incentivised to minimise payouts. Geelong homeowners with denied claims damage regularly receive far less than they're entitled to. ClaimGuard's independent Geelong advocates identify these tactics and fight back.
- Claim denied on non-disclosure grounds without proper basis
- Exclusion clauses incorrectly applied to refuse coverage
- Damage attributed to wear and tear without adequate investigation
- Proof of loss requirements used to stall or deny claims
- Late notification used as a pretext when no prejudice was caused

Denied Claims Insurance Claim FAQs — Geelong
Can I appeal a denied insurance claim?
Yes. You can request an IDR review and, if unresolved, lodge an AFCA complaint. Many denials are overturned with the right independent evidence. ClaimGuard offers a free denial review.
Is there a time limit to challenge a denied claim?
Generally 2 years from the denial to lodge an AFCA complaint. Act promptly — evidence deteriorates. Contact ClaimGuard immediately for the best chance of success.
