Bad Faith Claims Abel Law Firm Can Handle

When you sustain an injury or illness, you probably turn to your insurance company to compensate for your medical treatment, lost wages, and other incurred costs. You should receive an adequate settlement, so you’re not left with any bills to pay yourself.

At Abel Law Firm, our legal team has represented clients like you since 1976. We have experience in handling denied claims involving a range of cases, such as:

If you were involved in any of these accidents and your insurance company denied your claim without providing a valid reason, call Abel Law Firm immediately.

Common Types of Bad Faith Claims

Insurance companies don’t always treat claimants with kindness or compassion. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re acting in bad faith. They have a duty to pay out claims based on what’s in the policy. It could indicate bad faith if they do anything to unnecessarily delay the process or withhold the compensation you deserve.

Common examples of bad faith include:

Denying a claim without providing a valid reason or explanation
Intentionally misrepresenting or withholding coverage information and other details regarding the claim
Denying payment of medical services, procedures, or supplies based on the opinion that it’s unnecessary for the treatment of the injury without showing substantial evidence
Failing to investigate a claim thoroughly and promptly
Enforcing deadlines or time limits not mentioned in the insurance plan
Failing to respond timely to phone calls or emails

These are just some examples of how insurance companies act in bad faith. If you believe you were mistreated during your claim, you should seek legal representation. Don’t try to take on the insurance company alone. An experienced attorney can protect your rights and seek the money you’re owed.

Compensation Available in a Bad Faith Case

When an insurance company unfairly denies your claim, you can pursue compensation. The compensation you receive could compensate the losses you suffered in the accident as well as additional losses suffered from the insurance company’s mistreatment, such as:

Initial losses eligible under the policy, such as medical bills, property damage, and lost wages
Emotional distress due to the insurer’s misconduct
Financial expenses resulting from the acts of bad faith

You could also seek punitive damages. Instead of compensating you for your losses, it punishes the insurance company for its wrongdoings. You must show clear and convincing evidence of their reckless disregard for acting in good faith and dealing fairly with you during your claim.

The financial award you receive can’t exceed the compensation you recovered for your compensable losses or $100,000, whichever is higher.
