INSURANCE LAW AND BAD FAITH
Get your claims paid. We know the law regarding bad faith breach of insurance contracts. An insurance company can be held liable for unfairly denying insurance coverage or benefits to a policy holder. The insurer owes its insured the duty of good faith and fair dealing, which duty is breached if the insurer delays or denies payment without a reasonable basis. If your insurance company is taking too long to pay, or denies a claim for disability benefits, life insurance, medical insurance coverage, or fire, water, wind, hail, or other property damage, call us. Your damages for failure to pay benefits may include punitive damages, attorney fees and even damages for emotional distress caused by the denial of benefits.
Our insurance practice addresses a wide range of coverage matters including:
Bad Faith
Damages
Delay in Payment
Failure to Defend
Underpayment
Claim Denial
Disability Insurance
ERISA Litigation
Fire Loss
Fraud
Health Insurance and HMO
Homeowners Insurance
Independent Medical Exams
Life Insurance
Wind and Hail
DUTY TO DEFEND
An auto or home insurance policy is a contract that protects you against claims by third persons. The law favors coverage. Are you having trouble making your insurance company defend you? Do you need the insurance company to pay for your lawyer? We can tell you if your insurance provides coverage, and make the insurance company protect you when you should be covered.
Do not give insurance claims adjusters interviews, or submit to medical examinations at the request of insurance carriers, before you know your rights.
Contact us for your initial interview to discuss your Insurance Law and Bad Faith issue. Our office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with evenings and weekends available by appointment. We offer both fixed and contingent fee arrangements, depending on the type of case. We are located in historic downtown Littleton, one block from the Littleton light rail station.
