What is “Insurance Bad Faith?”
California Insurance bad faith is a legal cause of action that holds an insurance company in California to a higher standard of care to a policyholder or insured. It recognizes the inherently unequal bargaining position between the parties to the contract. It requires that an insurance company give as much consideration to the interests of the insured as it gives to its own interests. It requires an insurer to deal fairly in its communications and negotiations with its insured. Although based upon the insurance contract, violation of the dictates of good faith subjects an insurer to tort damages (the various damages listed above).
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you may have a “bad faith” claim and NEED REPRESENTATION. The Law Offices of Marc Grossman can provide that needed representation.
Many companies despise dealing with insurance. The mere mention of the word “insurance” makes many people cringe. It’s hard to believe that so many of us have had negative experiences with insurance companies. If you need to pursue an insurance claim and file paperwork, you’ll find that many insurance companies or city halls will give you a hard time. It’s unfortunate that you have to fight against them. Sometimes, it feels like you need weapons and an army on your side. At the Law Office of Marc Grossman, we understand these frustrations.
In cases where the insurance company has acted wrongfully or in bad faith, additional damages can be obtained. When clients get involved in these cases, the aim of Marc Grossman Law Offices is to ensure that all benefits owed to the client are received. It is common for insurance companies to not pay all the benefits that are owed under their contracts. Many people have paid insurance premiums for years and years to protect themselves against catastrophic problems such as the death of a loved one, loss of income, disability, a nasty auto accident, or damage to their house from a storm, only to have their legitimate claims denied by the insurance company.
Consequential damages
If you have suffered due to the denial of your health insurance claim or if your health has been further damaged due to the denial of your health insurance claim, you may be entitled to reimbursement for additional living expenses incurred out of pocket when your home has been damaged by a storm, lost wages due to the denial of your auto claim, or due to the denial of your health insurance claim in California.
Emotional Distress damages
If your insurance claim in California has been unreasonably denied by the insurer, you may be entitled to seek compensation for the emotional distress and damages you have suffered. The law recognizes the unique nature of an insurance contract, allowing you to obtain the necessary resources to continue with your normal life, without the burden of sleepless nights, financial strain from borrowing money from friends and family, and constant worry over bills.
Punitive damages
Stories abound concerning these life-altering damages that can be recovered when there is evidence of malicious or fraudulent conduct, as well as oppression, in the actions of the insurance carrier. In such cases, punitive damages may be available.
The goal of our bad faith insurance lawyers at Marc Grossman Law Office is to ensure that you receive the treatment you deserve from your home insurance or car insurance. We will fight to see that insurance companies fulfill the promises they have made to their customers. They are supposed to serve the needs of the people ahead of their profit margins. However, powerful insurance companies in California often take advantage of their customers, as their power allows them to do so.
