Bad Faith Lawyers Fighting For The Rights Of California Policyholders
An insurance policy is a contract between the policyholder and the insurance company. In exchange for payment of premiums, the insurance company agrees to:
- Provide the coverage described in the policy
- Act fairly and in good faith towards its policyholders
- Consider the interests of its policyholders equal to its own interests
If you believe your insurer failed to meet any of its contractual obligations, you need to contact Pillsbury & Coleman, LLP, today. We have been serving California policyholders for 25 years. Our insurance attorneys pursue insurance bad faith litigation on behalf of individuals and businesses involved in coverage disputes. We seek compensation for our clients’ financial losses, as well as punitive damages and attorney’s fees, when appropriate.

When an insurance company denies payment of valid claims, cancels a claim without basis, unreasonably delays payment, fails to thoroughly investigate or defend an insured’s claim, or underpays insurance claims without a good reason, it is said to be acting in bad faith.
