When to Contact an Insurance Attorney

Recognizing when it’s time to seek professional help can save you time and stress. If you experience any issues with your insurance claim, it’s crucial to reach out to an expert. A successful bad-faith insurance claim must show.

Examples of bad-faith insurance practices for a homeowner's insurance claim include:

• Failing to pay a valid claim within a reasonable amount of time
• Failing to allow the appraisal process to take place in a timely manner
• Failing to sufficiently document a claim
• Failing to pay the policyholder adequate additional living expenses
• Failing to pay sufficient payment or using an unusually high degree of depreciation when issuing payment

If any of these situations apply to you, request a consultation from LaHatte Law for professional assistance with your bad-faith insurance claim.

A successful bad faith insurance claim must demonstrate that the policyholder submitted a valid claim with sufficient proof of losses and damages. Additionally, it must be shown that the insurer failed to pay the policyholder within the statutory time frame, which is usually within 30 days. Finally, the insurer’s failure to pay must be proven to be arbitrary and without probable cause.
