San Francisco and California Elder Abuse, Annuity and Securities Attorneys: Financial Elder Abuse by Insurance Agents and Carriers

ATTORNEY NEWSLETTER

Fighting Harm to Senior Citizens

Insurance agents and carriers target seniors for expensive insurance products like life insurance and annuities that charge high premiums and pay big commissions but are unsuitable for the senior’s financial picture and station in life. After the policies are in place, seniors find their money tied up for years, hostage to withdrawal penalties, fees, and low returns. The California elder abuse attorneys at Evans Law Firm, Inc. represent seniors exploited by agents and carriers.  If you are over 60 and live in California and have lost money on a surrender or cancellation of life insurance or an annuity or due to hidden fees or premium increases, call us today at (415)441-8669.

Our lawyers know whenever we sue insurance agents and carriers on behalf of an injured senior we’re in for a fight. Agents and carriers will disavow any duty to the senior, claim they just provided what the senior asked for, and disclosed everything the senior needed to know about what they were sold.  We’re prepared.  Our lawyers know the real story when we hear those arguments. The law imposes duties of honesty and fair dealing on agents and a stricter fiduciary duty in some cases.  California law mandates disclosures that may never have been given. The law protects seniors when the agent and carrier overreachs or exerts undue influence to sell an unsuitable product.  We know the real standards imposed on agents and carriers and pursue all remedies for the injured senior when those standards aren’t met.

If you are over 60 and live in California and have been sold an inappropriate or unsuitable policy, contact qualified counsel now[1]. The policy may be the end product of elder abuse and we will effectively pursue all remedies available to you if you are a California senior, including rescission of the policy, restitution of moneys paid and extra damages and attorneys’ fees and costs for the policyholder.  If you or a loved one lives in California and has suffered a loss as a result of financial elder abuse by a insurance agent, financial advisor and carrier, call us today at (415)441-8669.

"We contacted Evans Law Firm when we were unable to collect on a Long-Term Life Insurance policy for an elderly family member. Ingrid responded almost immediately with an offer of a free consultation. I was immediately impressed with her passion for justice!!"
