If you have been in an accident and your auto insurance company or that of the other driver denies your claim, you could be left to shoulder the burden of your medical and other costs alone. However, just because an insurance company fails to pay does not mean that you are not covered; you still have the right to get the compensation that is legally yours. About 10% of insurance claims are unreasonably denied, yet few people ever question the reason why their claim was not honored or if their company acted in bad faith.

If your insurance company has denied your accident claim, operated in "bad faith", or you've been the victim of bad faith insurance fraud, call our office for a FREE consultation--we can help. 1-800-505-1414, or fill out our FREE case evaluation form.

For all their claims of protecting you, insurance companies are not good-will ambassadors providing insurance for the good of Americans. Rather, they are corporations designed to make money. Obviously, the more money they pay out in claims, the less profits they will make. Unfortunately, some insurance companies operate in “bad faith,” deliberately denying claims to protect their profits. Companies also may slow the process by delaying payment for no good reason, delaying or not doing a claim investigation, and failing to evaluate your claim in a reasonable amount of time.

This leads to frustration on the part of the policyholder, usually at a time when financial burdens and medical problems due to a car accident or other loss are at their worst. Insurance companies know this, and know that many people are unlikely to fight back. That’s why you need proper representation from the team of tough, smart lawyers at Jim S. Adler & Associates. We speak their language, and we fight for you on every point of your policy to press them to pay you the full compensation owed you, and pay it as quickly as possible. If you have been wrongfully denied or delayed payment, we will do our best to get fast results.

What to do when faced with a bad faith insurance company

Here are several steps that can help your case:

Get written confirmation about why your claim was denied: They cannot deny you on the phone. They must send you written confirmation about your claim denial, including the grounds on which they denied your claim.

Collect and organize all documents: That includes your policy information, all written notices about changes to your policy, all medical records, and all accident information.

Contact your insurance company: Starting with your agent, work your way up through the company, documenting all phone calls, including names and positions of everyone to whom you have spoken. Try to find out exactly why you have been denied and if you have not yet received written confirmation regarding your denial, request it promptly.
