Bad Faith Insurance Denials / Unfair Trade Practices

An individual is often powerless against a large insurance company that does not use realistic methods to calculate damages, or knowingly tries to settle claims for less than the policyholder's losses. The only recourse may be to bring a bad faith insurance lawsuit to get the full value of the claim. The Law Office of Scott M. Miller has successfully sued insurers for bad faith under unfair trade practices law. For example, he challenged AllState Insurance Co. for its pattern of "low-balling" settlements to victims of auto accidents.

Resolving Insurance Disputes

A denied claim does not necessary constitute bad faith. Insurance companies employ legions of lawyers and claims adjusters whose job is to carefully draft policy language and interpret it in their favor to deny or minimize payouts, which is all perfectly legal. Mr. Miller is adept at challenging those interpretations and convincing the company that his client is indeed covered.

If the insurance company will not settle your claim in negotiations, Mr. Miller can file a declaratory judgment action asking that your rights to compensation be affirmed by a court. The insurer may then file for summary judgment, asking the court to rule that there is no dispute as to any material facts, and based on those facts, the insurer does not have to pay. If Mr. Miller is successful, your coverage will be established and the insurance carrier must pay your benefits and attorney's fees. In the case of bad faith insurance practices, the court can also award punitive damages.
