[WSBAPT] Life Insurance refusing to pay out; delay and interest owed under RCW

[Dalynne Singleton]

I have a life insurance company refusing to provide monies in payment to Estate when no beneficiary named.
Has anyone filed complaint pursuant to RCW 48.23.300?

RCW 48.23.300 outlines the requirements for policy settlements and interest for life insurance in Washington State.
Usually when I send a demand letter with a deadline, the insurer pays the policy plus interest.

Insurer is USAble Life - all I am getting is for death more than 2 years ago - delays and no monies.

Any sample complaints would be appreciated.  I did some legal research and didn't find any caselaw.  Thank you.
Interest on Death Benefits: Insurers must pay interest on death benefits from the date of death at a rate not less than 8% 1.
Additional Interest: If benefits are not tendered within 90 days of receiving proof of death, an additional 3% interest accrues from the 91st day 1.
