Insurance Bad Faith Claims
Has your insurance company refused or unreasonably delayed payment of your property insurance claim? If so, you may have a right to receive compensation not only for the actual damages from your property damage but also through an insurance bad faith claim.
If you need to speak with a Texas insurance claims attorney about a denied or delayed property insurance claim, call William A. Kendall, P.C. We handle claims on behalf of property owners with residential and commercial property damage claims.
What is Insurance Bad Faith?
Under Texas law, your insurance company is required to pay all valid property insurance claims in a timely manner as determined by statute. If the insurance company has a valid legal defense, they may deny coverage or make a reasonable investigation to determinate the cause or extent of your property damage. However, they may not deny or delay coverage unreasonably simply to frustrate property owners' valid insurance claims.
What are My Rights?
If you are a homeowner or commercial property owner and feel your insurance claim for fire damage, water loss or foundation damage, storm, tornado, hail and roof damage, among other claim types, has been unreasonably denied or delayed, contact our Dallas law office for a free case evaluation.
If retained to handle your case, our first goal will be to obtain the full payment owed to you under the insurance policy so that you're able to make the necessary repairs to your home or commercial property. If we determine that your insurance company has acted reprehensibly enough to warrant an insurance bad faith claim, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf to seek statutory damages in addition to the cost of the actual damages related to the covered loss.
If you believe your insurance company is not acting in good faith in the handling of your insurance claim by relying on biased experts, failing to conduct an independent investigation or making "low-ball" offers in the face of reliable and contrary evidence (for example), please contact William A. Kendall, P.C. to discuss your options.
