Depending on the reason why they did not pay, there may be. For example, I once had a case where the husband died between the time he signed the application and the policy was issued. The insurance company denied coverage, we sued them and we settled for a significant amount of money at mediation. So, if they feel they have exposure, they may settle. You would have to have made a timely claim on the policy and he or you would have had to comply substantially with policy requirements. I suggest you consult with an attorney asap as the statute of limitations may be close to running.
