Dallas Insurance Bad Faith Attorney
When you purchased your insurance policy, you counted on the insurance company being there for in your time of need. Unless your insurance policy is covered by ERISA (typically purchased through your employer), the insurance company is prohibited from acting in "bad faith." If it does, you can sue and recover substantial damages. Fell & Wood, LLP vigorously pursues insurance companies that engage in bad faith. If your insurance agent deceived you or was negligent or your insurance company has denied your claim, not made payment in full, failed to defend you, or failed to indemnify you, call Fell & Wood, LLP . We will sue your insurance company and seek the maximum damages for its bad faith and unfair claims practices.
An insurance policy is not a complicated concept. It is a contract between you and the insurance company. You agree to pay premiums, and, in exchange, the insurance company promises act in good faith toward its policyholders and provide the coverage described in the policy. When you purchased and paid your premiums on your insurance policy (homeowner's insurance policy, fire insurance policy, automobile insurance policy, disability insurance policy, life insurance policy, comprehensive general liability policy, errors and omissions policy, etc.), you expected the insurance company to keep its promises to you. The duties of insurance companies include the following:
- To promptly investigate and pay the full value of covered claims made by you;
- To pay claims made against you by others (indemnification);
- To pay obtain and pay for a lawyer to defend you if you have been sued.
Fell & Wood, LLP fights for the rights of policyholders in the midst of insurance claims wrongly denied or not fully paid, payment delayed, coverage disputes, failure to defend, and other bad faith acts by their insurance companies.
