BAD FAITH INSURANCE CLAIM DENIAL

Bad Faith Claim Lawyers

Cincinnati, Ohio

There is no national standard of conduct governing insurance companies. Each state has a system for regulating the insurance claim process and ensuring fairness to the insured. The only incentive insurance companies have to be fair and abide by good faith practices is the threat of punitive damages, or being sued by the insured.

The Cincinnati based law firm of O’Connor Acciani & Levy, LLC, LLP has served residents of Ohio, Kentucky and throughout the U.S. for over 25 years, representing clients in cases of personal injury and wrongful death.

Part of our practice is dedicated to protecting clients from bad faith insurance, which means that the insurance company tries to avoid payment for a legitimate insurance claim. Our bad faith insurance claim attorneys are diligent and honest, taking pride in our excellent reputation throughout the insurance industry due to our professional attitude and integrity.

Insurance companies are obligated by law to send an insurance claim adjuster to investigate claims and settle them in a reasonable length of time. When a claim or settlement is refused, the insurer must provide a clear explanation for the denial. Failure to satisfy these requirements is ‘bad faith’.

If you or someone you know has experienced any of the following ‘bad faith’ insurance claim tactics contact O’Connor Acciani & Levy, LLC immediately for a free evaluation of your case.

• Offering inadequate compensation for damages
• Lengthy delay of a claim or denial without explanation
• Using legal jargon that can be interpreted several ways
• Withholding payment because of a delay receiving payment from another insurer
• Neglecting to perform an insurance claim investigation
• Purposeful fraud or deception
• Suing for more that is rightfully due to the insured (impossible to win) and refusing lesser settlements

Complex language makes many policies difficult to interpret. Every insurance company has claims specialists who are paid to present the outcome most favorable to the company.

Insurers may deny your claim even though your policy specifically covers it. This is considered an act in "bad faith," and delays your payment or offers less money than you are entitled to.

Because consumers don't know their legal rights, insurance companies take advantage of the situation and often underpay the insured. We recommend that you avoid signing any documents that you don’t understand. Contact an experienced insurance bad faith attorney at the Law Offices of O’Connor Acciani & Levy, LLC, LLP for guidance.

Secure legal representation as soon as possible after your insurance claim is wrongfully denied. The bad faith claim attorneys at O’Connor Acciani & Levy, LLC, LLP will aggressively protect your rights. Call us today at 513-241-7111 or email us.
