Insurance companies sell policies to policyholders to help them through difficult times and to provide peace of mind against misfortunes. You depend on the insurance company to fulfill their policy if weather or an unfortunate incident destroys or damages your home, if you are facing a serious illness, or if you suffered an injury in an accident. Insurance companies have a duty to act in “good faith” to their policyholders and to fulfill agreements; unfortunately, profit-motivated companies may delay payments or deny valid claims relating to:
Insurance companies may also misrepresent information, fail to disclose information or engage in dishonest settlement negotiations. When this occurs, they are acting in “bad faith.”

If an insurance company is acting in “bad faith,” a policyholder may be able to file a lawsuit against the company for a tort claim and a breach of contract claim. A tort claim would provide the policyholder with punitive damages. Punitive damages are court awarded compensation that is more than the measurable value of the damages and are intended to punish the wrongdoer for their conduct. If punitive damages are awarded, the policyholder may receive more than the original value of the policy.

Homeowners’ insurance policies are a combination of property insurance and liability insurance. The home and contents are generally protected from weather, fire, theft, sinkholes, accidents and other incidents that may cause damage under the property terms of the policy. Under the liability terms, if an injury occurs on the property the insurance must provide legal defense if the injured person sues.
“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”
