If you believe that under the terms of your insurance policy, which is a contract, your claim should have been honored and paid, you can sue your insurer for "breach of contract"--that is, for violating its contractual obligation to pay.
To win, you'd have to show in court that under the facts of this situation and the terms of the policy (which can be shown by a copy of the policy), that the insurer should have paid.
