San Francisco Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer
Personal injuries are often life changing and can leave victims debilitated, disabled, emotionally distraught, and financially strapped. Oftentimes the negligent person at fault has an insurance policy that won’t sufficiently pay for all of the damages that a victim may experience. In fact, this happens more often than most people think. Additionally, an insurance company will try to settle on a minimum payment, use coercion to try and fool victims into accepting sub-par recoveries, use malicious means, and even deny benefits to those injured. This practice is known in legal terms as “Bad Faith” and can cause serious distress to the parties bullied by the large, intimidating insurance companies.
Common Tactics
There are several practices or traps that insurance companies use to try to quickly resolve settlements for minimal or no payout. Insurance companies make their money by collecting monthly payments and denying claims. In almost every case, it is best to avoid speaking with anyone affiliated with the insurance company without legal council present. Common tactics used by insurance companies include:
- Offering to settle now, for a fixed low amount
- Repeated calls, asking for further information
- Denying payment when their policyholder was in fact at fault
- Coercing victims into settling now to avoid a trial
- Policy limit payouts for damages
- Interest for damages while trial and legal proceedings are underway
- Damages for emotional distress
- Attorney fees and legal expenses
