Insurance companies are required by law to treat their customers fairly. If you purchase any type of insurance -- automobile, property, disability, health, uninsured or underinsured motorist or homeowners insurance -- your insurer must deal with you in good faith. If your insurer denies a claim without good reason, delays paying it, or did not investigate the claim properly, then the insurer may have acted in bad faith, and you may have grounds for a lawsuit. If you have been the victim of such bad faith, our insurance claims attorneys, serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and other areas around the Valley, will advise that you may be able to recover money to compensate you for the damage caused by the insurer’s actions, plus interest, if the insurer wrongfully delayed paying a legitimate claim. In some cases, a jury might also award punitive damages in order to punish the insurer.
If you think you have been treated unfairly by your insurer and that you might have a claim for bad faith, you should keep all correspondence you have received from the insurer to show to a lawyer. Lawyers who practice personal injury law can advise you about insurance company bad faith.
Sometimes questions arise about whether an insurance policy provides coverage for a particular claim. All insurance policies contain a section called Exclusions which describe the types of claims that are not covered. If you have a situation where you believe you should have coverage, but the insurance company states you do not, and agreement cannot be reached, your lawyer can file a lawsuit to ask the court to decide. The Phoenix bad faith insurance lawyers of Begam & Marks have years of experience handling claims that are in dispute. Contact our attorneys to schedule a consultation today.
In auto accident cases, there are often questions about which insurance policy or policies apply. If a passenger is injured, for example, there may be questions about whether the passenger is covered under the driver’s insurance or the other car’s insurance. In serious injury cases where more coverage is needed to compensate for the damages, the injured person may be able to collect more than one policy, which is sometimes called stacking. An experienced attorney can review these issues and advise you.
