You’ve seen the commercials with the funny cavemen, the cute gecko from across the pond and the hapless duck who can’t get his duo-syllabic point across, and at some point if you drive a car you made a decision to trust one of them to provide you with insurance in case you get into an accident. Such a relationship is built on trust and surely you ought to be able to trust a faceless insurance conglomerate who’s sole motive is to generate greater and greater profits for its share holders as long as their spokes-caveman/gecko/duck can reliably make you chuckle during half-time. Sadly, when you have been in an accident their first priority is to limit their own liability and try to find any way possible to avoid payment of a claim for your damages. Fortunately, you have the right to hire a bad faith attorney if you feel you have been the victim of insurance bad faith in order to get you the money you and your family deserves.
As well as "compensatory" and "punitive" damages, you may be allowed to sue for "consequential" damages. If you can prove additional damages that were caused by the fact that the insurance company failed to deliver on its agreement, you are entitled to more money. Court costs and attorneys fees would likely be covered under consequential damages as well. Insurance bad faith is a crime, and the law looks unkindly at insurance companies who hurt their clients with willful malice.
If you feel you have been denied an insurance claim in error by your insurance company, the time to call an insurance bad faith attorney is now. Insurance bad faith attorneys are here to serve you and to make sure you get paid for your claim. You and your family may be injured and you may need help paying your bills, so it is imperative that you get help right away. Fortunately, in some states the law is such that if it is determined that you have been damaged by your insurance company it can be stipulated that you be paid triple damages plus attorney’s fees. Do yourself and your family a favor and seek the assistance of an insurance bad faith attorney.
