Los Angeles Attorney Fighting Wrongful Denials of Insurance Claims and other Insurance Bad Faith Tactics
You pay your insurance premiums faithfully, month after month, year after year, so that you will be protected in the event some harm or disaster befalls you or your family. When such an event does happen, the last thing you need is to have a fight with your insurance company to get them to pay the benefits they have promised to you. Insurance companies are for-profit businesses, and it is reasonable for them to investigate and only pay a fair amount on valid claims. But when they act unreasonably and delay or deny coverage for improper motives, attorney Jeffrey Fleitman steps in to make sure they hold up their end of the bargain and pay the full value of the claim, plus compensation for any further damages they have caused by their actions.
Insurance companies have conflicting duties. They have a contractual obligation to pay the claims of their policyholders, but they also try to maximize profits for their shareholders, which they do by paying out as little as they think they can get away with. But your insurance policy is a contract with the insurance company, which comes with an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. Insurance companies can violate this duty in many ways, such as:
- Failing to promptly and properly investigate your claim
- Unreasonable delay in processing your claim
- Denial of claim for an improper reason
- Offering an unreasonably low amount on your claim (lowballing)
- Failing to defend or settle a third-party liability claim against you
- Rescinding or cancelling your policy because you made a claim
