Terms of use
Last updated September 9, 2026
These terms govern use of this website. By using the site you accept them.
No legal advice
The information on this website is provided for general educational purposes only. It is not legal advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for advice about your specific policy, claim, or circumstances.
No attorney-client relationship
Contacting Policyholder Advocates or submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a signed written agreement.
No guarantee of outcome
Every insurance claim turns on its own policy language, facts, and record. Nothing on this website is a prediction, promise, or guarantee about the outcome of any matter.
Jurisdiction
Policyholder Advocates represents clients in California matters only. Nothing on this website is an offer to represent anyone in another state.
Deadlines
Insurance claims and lawsuits are subject to deadlines set by the policy and by law. Delay in seeking advice may affect available options.
Insurance claims and lawsuits may be subject to deadlines. If you believe a deadline may be near, do not rely on this form alone. Contact a qualified California attorney promptly.
Acceptance of these terms
By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
Attorney advertising
This website may be considered attorney advertising in some jurisdictions. It describes an insurance recovery practice for California policyholders and is directed at California matters only. It is not an offer or solicitation to represent anyone in a state where the participating attorneys are not licensed to practice.
Use of the content
You may read, print, and share the pages of this site for your own reference. You may not republish, sell, or otherwise use the content commercially, and you may not scrape or bulk-copy it by automated means, without our written permission. The text, layout, logo, and other materials on this site are owned by Policyholder Advocates or used with permission.
Submissions through the case review form
The form is an intake channel, not a way to preserve a legal deadline. Sending a submission does not create an attorney-client relationship, does not obligate us to review or respond, and does not stop any statutory or policy deadline from running. Do not rely on this website to protect a right that is close to expiring — seek advice directly and promptly.
Accuracy and currency of the content
The legal information on this site — including the statutes, regulations, and deadlines described on the California policyholder rights page and in the guides — is general, and the law changes. Every claim also turns on the specific wording of the policy at issue. Nothing here should be relied on as a statement of current law in your matter.
Third-party links and sources
We link to outside sources, including government and State Bar records, so you can verify what we describe. We do not control those sites, and we are not responsible for their content or availability.
Availability of the site
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of this site at any time, and we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Disclaimer and limitation of liability
This website and its content are provided on an as-is basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, Policyholder Advocates and the participating attorneys are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or its content.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute about this website will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
Changes to these terms
These terms were last updated on September 9, 2026. Any revised version applies from the date it is posted on this page.
