Insurance Bad Faith Attorney

Insurance Bad Faith occurs when an insurance company handles does not fulfill its obligation to you, the insured.  When that happens the insurance company is acting in “bad faith” by not providing the service that they promised, in the insurance contract, to perform. In some cases the insurance company undervalues the claim or refuses to pay the policyholder any of the money that they are due.   Insurances companies can also drag out the claims process to a point that is not fair and reasonable.

 Insurance Fraud and Breach of Contract

If your insurance company is delaying the process of your claim or refusing to pay as promised and as required by law.  They may be acting in “bad faith”.  If your insurance company is in breach of contract, you need to have an experienced attorney look at your case.   You may be able to collect all of the money that you are owed, including attorney’s fees and punitive damages. 

Punitive damages are awarded to a plaintiff when the court or jury wants to change the behavior of a company.  If you are due $15,000 for an insurance claim, it may be a big deal for you but it will not affect the bottom line of an insurance company if a court forces them to pay the policy holder.  Therefore, the court may award the plaintiff a large sum that will get the attention of the insurance company so it won’t continue to abuse its insured.
