Examinations Under Oath (EUO) play a critical role in defending against fraudulent or exaggerated claims, providing insurers with the opportunity to gather detailed and sworn testimony from claimants. At Hartel, DeSantis, & Murray, LLP, we provide strategic support to insurers throughout the EUO process, ensuring that questioning is thorough, legally compliant, and focused on uncovering the facts. Serving Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., we work tirelessly to protect insurers’ interests and uphold the integrity of the claims process.

Defending Insurers with Strategic EUO Guidance

An EUO can be a powerful tool for uncovering discrepancies and verifying the legitimacy of a claim. Our attorneys represent insurers by conducting meticulous preparation, identifying potential inconsistencies in the claimant’s story, and ensuring that the EUO process is executed effectively. We approach each case with precision, helping insurers gather the evidence needed to make informed decisions about coverage.

At Hartel, DeSantis, & Murray, LLP, we help insurers prepare for EUOs by reviewing all relevant documentation, claims history, and policy terms. We develop targeted lines of questioning designed to clarify ambiguities, expose inconsistencies, and secure testimony that supports a defense against potentially unwarranted payouts.
