Lewisville Auto Insurance Bad Faith Attorney
What is an auto insurance bad faith case?
When an insurer fails to abide by an agreement with a client – either in spirit or in fact -- the claimant can pursue legal action to recover money as well as payment for fees like legal fees.
Why would an insurance company wrongfully deny a claim or otherwise fail to pay out money that’s owed?
Insurers are in a business. They seek to minimize the amount of money they pay out to claimants and maximize the money that they bring in through premiums and other fees. To that end, these companies often strive to deny or minimize their responsibilities.
What are some examples of auto insurance bad faith?
- Insurer offers inadequate money to pay for a damaged vehicle (low-balling).
- Insurance company refuses to pay claimant in an Texas personal injury case by saying that the accident or damage was not covered, often citing a technicality.
- Insurer may claim that an injured victim is not as "injured" as she claims to be and use that as a basis for disputing a claim or for opting to pay a lesser amount.
Can insurance companies really legally get away with these bad faith actions?
