Can an insurance company deny my claim even if I have all the necessary documents?

As a lawyer, I can tell you that an insurance company can potentially deny your claim even if you have all the necessary documents. The reason for this is that insurance policies often contain language that limits or excludes coverage for certain types of events, damage, or losses. Moreover, insurance companies have a duty to investigate claims and may deny them if they determine that the damage or loss was not caused by a covered event or if the claim was fraudulent or misrepresented.

That being said, if you have all the necessary documents to support your claim, such as proof of loss, receipts, medical bills, or other relevant evidence, you may be able to challenge the insurance company's denial and seek legal remedies. One option is to file a complaint with your state insurance department, which regulates insurance companies and has the authority to investigate and resolve disputes between consumers and insurers. You may also be able to file a lawsuit against the insurer for breach of contract, bad faith, or other legal causes of action, depending on the circumstances of your case.

It is important to consult with an experienced insurance lawyer who can evaluate your claim and advise you on the best course of action. They can also help you negotiate with the insurance company and pursue the compensation you deserve. However, keep in mind that there may be time limitations or other legal requirements for filing a claim or lawsuit, so it is important to act promptly and diligently in pursuing your case.
