Insurance Disputes
When a policyholder who has paid insurance premiums over years submits a claim to their insurance company, they expect the company will act in good faith and honor the validity of the claim.
Many policyholders in dispute with their insurer cannot afford to pay a lawyer by the hour. Most lawyers who represent policyholders in disputes with insurers will work under contingent fee agreements. Under such agreements, the attorney is only paid if the client recovers money in a lawsuit or settlement.
How Can We Help !
Wrongful denial can take many forms. Sometimes, the insurance company attempts to deny the claims and asserts that the policy under which the claim was made was cancelled. In this type of situation, the burden is on the insurance company to prove that the law regarding notice of cancellation has been strictly complied with.
How Do You Know You Need a Lawyer?
After a catastrophic event, the last thing we need is to fight with our insurance carriers. However, in some situations insurance carriers dispute your claims or refuse to properly honor our policies. If this is happening to you, call a lawyer with experience in insurance bad faith disputes.
Consumers buy insurance to protect themselves and their families from natural disaster, fire, injury, sickness, disability, accident or death. When tragedy strikes, the last thing a policyholder deserves is to have his or her own insurance company deny a claim for no good reason.
