Crop insurance policies normally require arbitration as
the course of action required for a producer who wishes to challenge a claim
denial. While crop insurance is common
and widely used, producers may not be familiar with the arbitration requirement
or the arbitration process.
An article, “Crop
Insurance Arbitration: What is
Arbitration, When is it Required, and How Does it Work?” by Grant Ballard,
attorney with the Banks Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a helpful
resource.
This article provides information on the arbitration process, the arbitration clause typically found in crop insurance policies, when
arbitration is required, appeal of an arbitration award, and state law actions
against insurance providers.
