If you are covered by insurance, you are entitled to your insurance benefits. You buy insurance to protect you and those you care about. If a covered event occurs, you are entitled to be paid all the insurance benefits your company agreed to provide -- promptly and fully. Unfortunately that does not always happen. Many times an insurance lawsuit is necessary to redeem your benefits. In 95% or more of all cases in many fields of law, including accidents and personal injury, an insurance company is on the other side. Its claims examiners, adjusters and attorneys are trying to make you go away, and pay you nothing or as little as they can get away with. They're experts. That's why you need a qualified lawyer on your side to handle your insurance dispute.
- Your lawyer should know insurance disputes and insurance companies "inside out".
- Insurance companies are involved in nearly all disability and accident matters.
- Through insurance lawsuits, your lawyer can help people recover the benefits they are entitled to from their insurance companies
- Through insurance lawsuits, your lawyer can help injured people recover money from other peoples' insurance companies.
Without the right insurance law firm on your side you may be injured again--this time by being cheated of the insurance benefits and the payment for damages to which you are entitled. You deserve to be compensated fairly and fully.
Bad Faith Insurance Lawsuits
Your insurance company is prohibited from claim practices that could be interpreted as "bad faith". The insurance company must consider all the facts surrounding your claim, rather than selectively considering only those facts which allow it to deny your claim. Furthermore, your insurance company has a legal responsibility to evaluate your claim and pay insurance benefits to which you are entitled in a timely manner.
Indications You May Have a Bad Faith Insurance Dispute
- Your insurance company failed to evaluate your claim in a timely manner.
- Your insurance company denied a reasonable claim.
- Your settlement was unreasonably low.
- Your insurance company did not consider all facts in evaluating your claim.
- Your insurance company engaged in unfair settlement practices.
If you feel your insurance company is acting in bad faith in denying your claim, you should discuss a possible bad faith insurance lawsuit with an attorney with specific experience in insurance litigation. Often claims are quickly resolved when the insurance company realizes a client has engaged an effective trial lawyer on their behalf. Call us now! |
