Auto Insurance Attorneys
Insurance is meant to be the ultimate safety net, offering protection for your most valuable possessions, like your car and home. Given the high cost of insurance policies, you expect your provider to fulfill its obligations when you need it most. Unfortunately, many insurance companies prioritize their own financial interests over providing customers with the compensation they deserve after an accident or loss.
If your insurance claim has been denied, know that you don’t have to accept your insurance company’s decision as final. Instead, you can turn to DuRant Law to fight on your behalf and, if necessary, take your case to court.
What Is Bad Faith Insurance
Insurance companies are required to act in “good faith” when processing claims. This means they must handle claims fairly, honor the terms of their policies, and avoid denying valid claims without proper justification. However, some insurance companies act in bad faith to avoid paying claims and save money.
Common examples of bad faith practices include:
- Delaying the claims process unnecessarily
- Denying claims that clearly fall within policy coverage
- Conducting inadequate investigations into claims
- Demanding excessive or unreasonable documentation
If your claim wasn’t denied for a legitimate reason, such as failure to pay premiums, and you suspect your insurance company acted in bad faith, you have the right to take action. Often, the mere threat of a lawsuit prompts insurers to offer a fair settlement, but some cases may require litigation.
