Florida Insurance Litigation-Insurance Attorneys and Lawyers 

In Tampa Bay Florida Area

Insurance companies who refuse legitimate claims, suddenly deny coverage, or take an inordinate amount of time to pay a claim, may be liable for bad faith insurance practices.

 

In other cases, insurers deny paying a claim, waiting to see if a policyholder will file a lawsuit or simply walk away.  We take insurers who engage in bad faith insurance practices to court. If necessary, we contact the Department of Financial Services the State Insurance Commissioner to look for patterns of bad faith insurance practices on the part of certain insurers throughout Florida. As your law firm, we review policy terms and the nature of a loss in order to determine if denied coverage or a rejected claim actually constitutes bad faith on the part of your insurer. While we prepare each case for litigation, we are prepared to negotiate a settlement if you are satisfied with the terms offered.

 

If your insurer won't return calls, has denied a legitimate claim, or has not paid insurance benefits that you are entitled to, contact us today to schedule a free consultation to learn how we can help you.

 

What You can do to Help Your Case:

 

In order to create a timeline and provide evidence in support of your case, it's important to gather any documentation pertaining to communications between you and your insurer. Any written letters, emails, or tapes of phone messages, during negotiations or at trial, can help establish bad faith practices on the part of your insurer. Additionally, copies of your policy and receipts or confirmation of paid premiums are also important.

 

Insurance companies are not above denying payment until it becomes clear to them that a lawsuit may be filed. If you have been denied payment on a claim or have waited and unreasonable amount of time for your claims check, contact us to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.
