Securing the compensation your loved one intended

When a loved one passes away, the last thing you should have to face is a battle with an insurance company over the benefits intended for you and your family. At Ruiz & Smart, we bring empathy and proven expertise to these sensitive matters. As established leaders in Washington, we are known for our ability to secure substantial compensations that other firms might overlook. We take the time to dig into the details to counter tactics used by insurers to minimize payouts, such as policy exclusions and claims of misrepresentation.

Our expertise extends beyond straightforward life insurance claims. We are skilled at handling complex disputes involving multiple beneficiaries, contested designations, and interpleader actions initiated by insurance companies. Whether through negotiation or litigation, we stand at your family’s side every step of the way. We manage all legal aspects of your claim and allow your family to heal during this difficult time. With Ruiz & Smart, you receive expert legal representation and a committed partner dedicated to protecting your rights and resolving your claims.
