Bad Faith lawyers who confront insurance companies
Insurance companies make money by selling policies, losing money when they pay claims. Our denied insurance claim attorneys have the experience and knowledge to take on insurance companies who delay payments, deny claims, or act in bad faith.
First-party insurance claims
A claim against your insurance policy is known as a first-party claim. You can expect your valid claim to be paid when you purchase an insurance policy. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, and you need the support of an experienced Chicago insurance lawyer.
Claims for Unreasonable and Vexatious Delay, aka “Bad Faith” are common and include the following:
Car Insurance Claims
“Bad Faith” in auto insurance arises when insurers unreasonably delay, underpay, or deny valid claims without a justifiable reason. Such actions can leave claimants facing financial burdens, from repair costs to medical bills, while grappling with an accident’s aftermath. Our lawyers for car insurance claims can help get what the insurance company promised.
Life Insurance
The initial denial of a life insurance claim may be for legitimate reasons, such as determining the proper payee if more than one beneficiary claims benefits. However, denying life insurance benefits without reason is an act of insurance bad faith. Our Illinois insurance attorneys file suit to collect the full amount stipulated in your family life insurance policy.
Business Insurance
If you own a business, you need insurance to protect you from losses such as fire, flood, employee theft, or other business-disrupting events. Claim denials can put you out of business permanently. When you face a business insurance claim denial of $50,000 or more, and your insurance company is in breach of promise, we help you receive the coverage you paid for.
Homeowners – major insurance claims
Homeowners insurance is meant to protect you in the event of major theft or damage to your home. A bad faith denial of your claim can hinder you in recovering your loss. Our property insurance attorneys help you get proper reimbursement under your homeowner’s insurance policy.
Disability Insurance
If you purchased disability insurance, you expected to be covered in the event of a major illness or injury. However, disability claims are commonly challenged by insurance companies and the doctors who work for them. Our medical insurance claims lawyers vigorously fight denials of disability insurance claims in bad faith.
Third-party insurance claims
You may have a major claim against the insurance policy of an individual or company that caused your loss. This is known as a third-party claim. Situations that require the filing of a third-party insurance claim include –
- Premises Injuries
- Injuries to Children
- Brain or Spinal Injuries
Third-party insurance claims are routinely contested in court. If you have a valid claim, our firm aggressively pursues the compensation you deserve.
