Pennsylvania Lawyers for Insurance Disputes
In the vast majority of cases, insurance companies readily honor their clients' legitimate claims. However, insurance companies sometimes act in bad faith — denying coverage for expenses they think they can manage to avoid.
These companies employ unfair tactics or fail to respond to claims in an efficient and timely manner. They make it difficult for policy holders to collect the claims they are owed, hoping that you will just give up and go away.
The Law Protects Policy Holders
If your insurance company is using unfair tactics against you, you should know that Pennsylvania law protects you. The law supports insureds and forces insurance companies to pay whenever policy holders have valid complaints.
At Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald LLP, we stand up for insurance policy holders. If you believe that your claim has been mishandled, our northeastern Pennsylvania law firm may be able to help you bring the problem to a satisfying conclusion. If necessary, we will take your case to trial to help you achieve the best possible results.
There are several ways that insurance companies can commit bad faith violations:
- Denying coverage for legitimate claims
- Failing to investigate claims within a reasonable time
- Failing to keep you informed of the claim's progress
- Accepting your claim, but not paying it
- Neglecting to tell you why your claim was denied
Our insurance bad faith attorneys have amassed years of experience dealing with disputes on all of these grounds, filing insurance bad faith lawsuits related to auto insurance, disability insurance, homeowner's insurance and commercial insurance.
We understand that, when an insurance company has betrayed your trust, it can be difficult to put still more trust in a lawyer. At Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald LLP, we place great emphasis on making you comfortable with the legal system. We will talk with you in-depth about your options and provide clear answers to your insurance bad faith FAQs.
Damages in Insurance Bad Faith Cases
Depending on the severity of your insurance company's bad faith, you may be able to seek damages in excess of the amount denied by the insurance company. This extra amount may cover legal fees, interest on delayed payments and punitive damages, among other items.
The law is designed to punish insurance companies that fail to live up to their obligations, but bringing them to justice is easier said than done. You can be sure that the insurance companies will come into any bad faith dispute with high powered attorneys on their side. While many lawyers are unwilling to represent people against powerful corporate defendants that employ high-powered law firms and large-scale insurance carriers, Rosenn, Jenkins & Greenwald LLP has the resources necessary to handle these complex cases.
