Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith

Businesses and homeowners purchase insurance policies to minimize the economic impact of accidents and losses to their property. Ideally, an attorney should never have to be hired to recover benefits owed under an insurance policy and needed to repair and/or replace property that has been damaged or lost by events such as hail, wind, fire, frozen pipes, or theft. The policyholder pays premiums, and in exchange expects the insurance company to honor its promise to provide coverage.

Unfortunately, and despite a legal obligation placed on insurance companies to perform their obligations and handle insurance claims in good faith, insurance companies sometimes fail to live up to their obligations. In these unfortunate instances, insurance companies disregard policyholder’s rights by improperly delaying the payment of benefits, underpaying the true value of the loss, or denying an insurance claim outright when the claim is covered under the policy. When insurance carriers do this, the policyholder is denied benefits it paid for and that are rightfully owed.

Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling matters on behalf of policyholders to address these types of insurance coverage and bad faith issues. We have successfully assisted policyholders in recovering substantial sums wrongfully denied and withheld by insurance carriers. If you believe your insurance claim has been improperly denied or delayed, please contact our office to discuss how we can assist you to address that conduct.
