Bad Faith Insurance Attorney
Battling Big Insurance
Insurance is a necessity to cover life’s unknowns and protect our property and health. Dealing with insurance companies, however, can be a pain. The industry is mainly regulated at the state level, making it easy for companies to lobby legislators and control the market. Unfortunately for us, bad insurance practices aren’t uncommon.
Failing to Settle
When someone makes a claim against you and your insurance company fails to settle your case, the insurance company can be acting in bad faith. Sometimes the insurance company doesn’t properly investigate a claim against you. In other situations, an insurance company may deny coverage under your insurance policy or fail to properly investigate the claim. When your insurance company is given the opportunity to settle the case within your policy limits, and fails to do so, you may be exposed to financial liability without the protection of the insurance you paid for.
Failure to Defend
Depending on the type of claim made against you, your insurance company may have a duty to defend you in a lawsuit. This duty normally is based on the comparison of the facts in a lawsuit to the language in the insurance contract. Insurance companies can be liable for failing to defend you when they wrongfully refuse to defend a claim against you that should be covered under your insurance policy.
