Unethical insurance companies operate in bad faith

Hire an attorney
Sometimes it is necessary to hire an accident lawyer for protection from those who you expected to protect you. Insurance companies are not benevolent benefactors. They are businesses who calculate their losses and are always looking for reasons to deny your claim; or to minimize the dollar amount that they must pay.

Some companies will make an unreasonably low offer knowing that policyholders are either desperate or confused in the aftermath of an accident. Others will aggressively pursue a quick settlement that favors their bottom line, even if the amount is insufficient or will cause hardship on the injured individual or their family.

When customers purchase auto insurance, they have every right to expect that their insurance company is acting in good faith, and intends to honor the terms of the insurance policy. Consumers are required by law to carry insurance; this means that they are afforded legal protections that preserve their rights as drivers and as consumers.
