When is an Insurance Denial Indicative of Bad Faith?

Oftentimes, the insurance companies will not treat claimants fairly until they get a personal injury lawyer involved. This is a disappointing reality of the world we live in, and one that leaves far too many individuals and families struggling in times of need. If you are struggling to make headway with your claim, or if you have had a claim denied, the following are all possible signs that it is time to speak with an insurance attorney:

  • The company did not investigate your claim in a timely and thorough manner
  • Your adjuster is ignoring clear evidence or straightforward facts about your claim
  • You have not received a reasonable explanation for the delays or denial of your claim
  • The insurance company has misrepresented language in your policy or purported to modify the terms of your coverage
  • You have received “low-ball” settlement offers that do not reflect the value of your claim
  • You have been accused of improper, or perhaps illegal, conduct in connection with your claim
  • You have been threatened with legal action that has no basis in the law

Do these issues sound familiar? If so, we can help. Do not accept your insurance company’s decision on your claim until you speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer.

California Insurance Claim Denial FAQs

Q: Am I entitled to hire an independent adjuster to investigate my insurance claim?



Yes. In California, these are known as public insurance adjusters. If you have a property damage claim, a public adjuster can provide an independent assessment of the damage to your home or business (which will often be very different from the assessment provided by your insurance company). An experienced public insurance adjuster can be an important advocate in your claim against your insurance company.

Q: How do I know when to seek legal help for my insurance claim?



Many people incorrectly assume that hiring an attorney will be expensive and slow down the processing of their claim. In reality, it costs you nothing upfront to hire an attorney (your attorney only gets paid if your claim is successful), and hiring an experienced attorney can help you secure substantially greater coverage than you could have secured on your own. If your claim has already been denied, you should contact an attorney right away. If you are struggling to get answers from your insurance company, hiring an injury lawyer now can help you avoid a bad-faith denial.
