Insurance Litigation / Bad Faith / General Coverage

The firm's attorneys have substantial experience in litigating against insurance companies for property loss, disability insurance, life insurance proceeds, health insurance claims and bad faith. When an insurance company violates principles or regulations governing insurance law in denying a claim, stalling in making a decision on a claim, or requiring unreasonable actions or documentation by an insured to prove a claim, it may constitute bad faith. In addition to the value of the claim itself, an insurance company acting in bad faith may also be liable for damages for causing emotional distress to the plaintiff and perhaps even punitive damages if the conduct, or the pattern of conduct, is outrageous.
