Insurance Bad Faith Lawyers Serving Wheeling and the Ohio Valley

Don’t Let Insurance Companies Deny Your Rightful Claims

People buy insurance and pay premiums to protect themselves against unexpected risks. When those risks become a reality, you must be confident that your insurance company comes through with benefits. Unfortunately, some insurers deny valid claims or delay settlements without any reason.

The attorneys at Bordas & Bordas represent the rights of consumers in insurance disputes. If you are struggling with the conduct and practices of an insurance company, our Wheeling insurance bad faith lawyers can help investigate the matter and obtain your rightful benefits.

Good vs. Bad Faith Insurance Negotiation

An insurance policy is a type of contract, and like all contracts, there is an implied agreement that both parties will act in good faith. On the insurer’s side, that means the company and its adjusters promptly investigate claims and make reasonable payments when appropriate. It also means they shouldn’t unfairly raise premiums or deny claims.

However, insurance companies are businesses, always looking out for their own best interests, including paying as little as possible in settlements to boost their profit margins. As a result, some insurers will use deceptive and inappropriate practices when handling claims—they act in bad faith.

Examples of Bad Faith Insurance Claims

The lawyers at Bordas & Bordas have handled many cases involving different types of insurance bad faith, including:

• Denied claims without reasonable justification
• Refusal to make a reasonable settlement offer
• Unreasonably delayed settlements
• Refusal to provide coverage
• Refusal to pay (or promptly pay) life, health, auto, homeowner, or disability insurance policies
• Failure to handle claims fairly, reasonably, and promptly
• Unfair discrimination against certain classes of people

Recognizing Insurance Bad Faith

Insurance bad faith is more than inconvenient—it can come with devastating consequences for families counting on the benefits from a good faith claim.

Have you experienced any of the following situations with your insurance company?

• Failure to respond promptly to your inquiries
• Seemingly endless forms to provide duplicative information
• Misrepresentations in connection with the handling of your claim
• Offers to settle your claim for less than what you believe is reasonable

If so, our Wheeling insurance bad faith lawyers can review the details of your claim to determine whether the insurer is acting inappropriately.
