How Can A Henderson Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer Help Me?
As your attorney, we can pursue a claim on your behalf under the Nevada Unfair Claims Practices Act, which covers insurance bad faith and legal recourse. Nevada law clearly states the rights of insurance policyholders to seek legal redress in instances of bad faith.
Some of the most common types of cases we handle include:
- Unjustified denial of coverage or rejecting your claim without providing a valid reason
- Improper handling of your claim
- Failure to communicate the relevant information or not providing the information you need
- Failure to adequately investigate the claim
- Undue delay in processing your claim, including confirming or denying coverage or delaying payment after the claim is approved
- Proposing a settlement significantly lower than your claim is truly worth
- Unfair settlement negotiations
- Undue delay in providing an explanation for a claim denial or minimization
- Failure to work toward a fair settlement
- Failure to enter into negotiations for a claim settlement
- Failure to disclose the limit of the policy
- Failure to respond to time-limit demands or ignoring demands that contain a time-restriction
Addressing Questions Of Indemnification
Our attorneys also address questions of failure in defense and indemnification. Insurance companies are obligated to defend suits or judgments against their customers, including any claim that may potentially fall within the policy coverage.
In addition, Nevada courts have ruled that insurers that do not give equal consideration to the insured’s interests as it does their own are liable for any resulting judgments against the insured (the customer), even if the judgment exceeds the policy limits of the insured. If the insurer fails to properly defend you, the customer, in the lawsuit or refuses to pay the judgment against you, then they can be found to have acted in bad faith. If you were sued, and your insurance company failed to mount a proper defense in your case, then we can help you pursue legal action against it.
