Your Rights
What Liberty Mutual cannot do
Unfair Denial
Liberty Mutual cannot deny a valid claim without a reasonable investigation and a clear explanation citing specific policy language. If they deny your claim, request the denial in writing with the exact policy provision.
Unreasonable Delay
Every state has fair claims settlement practices that require insurers to acknowledge, investigate, and resolve claims within specific timeframes — typically 30-45 days. Intentional delays are a violation.
Coercion or Intimidation
Adjusters cannot pressure you into accepting a settlement, threaten you with claim denial for asking questions, or misrepresent your policy coverage. You have the right to take time to evaluate any offer.
Repair Shop Choice
You have the legal right to choose your own repair shop in every state. Liberty Mutual can recommend shops but cannot require you to use them or reduce payment because you chose an independent shop.
