When you take out an insurance policy, you expect that if something bad happens, your insurance company will make it right. Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t always operate in good faith and honor the policies of their paying customers.
When an insurance company denies your claim without justification, drags its feet or provides far less compensation than you deserve, it is likely acting in bad faith. If this happens to you, getting legal help from a qualified insurance bad faith attorney at Johnson & Biscone can make all the difference.
You Don’t Have to Put Up With Bad Faith Tactics
Insurance companies have entire departments of claims specialists and attorneys working hard to minimize payouts. They may use delay tactics, hoping you’ll give up or make meager settlement offers, banking on the fact that you don’t know your legal rights. This unfortunate occurrence explains why most people who choose to negotiate without legal guidance fail to achieve a satisfactory claim resolution.
Having an attorney levels the playing field. Lawyers know all the tactics insurance companies use and how to respond to get you the maximum compensation allowed by law. Don’t let an unjust denial or unreasonably low offer make you feel powerless— you have options.
An Attorney Can Review Your Policy and Assess Your Case
Before taking action against an insurance company, your attorney will carefully review your policy, the circumstances of your loss, and the insurer’s stated reasons for denying or limiting your claim. This meticulous process allows them to determine if the insurance company has violated specific provisions of your policy or failed to negotiate in good faith.
If so, a strongly worded demand letter from your lawyer may prompt the insurance company to give your claim proper attention. If further legal action is needed, your attorney will vigorously pursue compensation and damages.
You Deserve Accountability From Insurance Companies
Paying premiums entitles policyholders to ethical, lawful conduct from insurers. When insurance companies mistreat their customers to protect profits, accountability is needed to discourage future bad faith practices.
By standing up to dishonest insurers with legal action, you not only receive what you’re rightfully owed but also send an important message and set a helpful legal precedent.
