If you have an appeal, Pleban & Associates can help.
Consumer Rights
Missouri has laws that protect its consumers. Included in that protection is the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (“MMPA”). It is unlawful for anyone to use deception, fraud, false pretenses, false promise, misrepresentation, unfair practices or concealment in connection with the sale or advertisement of merchandise or commerce.
Insurance Claims
Pleban & Associates represents individuals in claims against their own insurance carriers. Often times, even though an individual has paid all of his/her premiums, the insurance company will either deny coverage or undervalue the claim. There are statutory provisions that help individuals when this occurs. When the insurance carrier’s refusal to pay is vexatious—without reasonable cause or excuse—it can be hit with penalties and forced to pay for your attorneys’ fees.
