Bad Faith Insurance Claims Attorneys

Bad Faith Lawyers Fighting For The Rights Of Policyholders Nationally

In insurance, the policy is generally a standard form contract between the insurance company and the policyholder. The insurance company agrees to do the following in exchange for payment of premiums:

  • Act in good faith and fairly towards its policyholders
  • Provide the coverage described in the policy
  • Consider the interests of its policyholders equal to its own interests

When an insurer fails to uphold their part in its contractual obligations you can hold them accountable by contacting our National bad faith insurance claims attorneys at Pillsbury & Coleman, LLP. Not only have our attorneys been representing policyholders for over 25 years, but we also go after insurance bad faith litigation in favor of businesses and individuals involved in coverage disputes. We pursue punitive damages and attorney’s fees when appropriate, and seek compensation for the financial loss for our clients.

When a payment is made on a valid claim and the insurance company denies it, delays the payment unreasonably, has no basis for canceling the claim, neglects a thorough investigation or fails to defend an insured’s claim or underpays insurance claims with no good reason, these are all acts of bad faith and the need for a bad faith lawyer is mandatory to further investigate the claim.
