Assessing Wildfire Risks Difficult As Coverage Woes Persist
Bad faith insurance cases we handle

Insurance claims wrongfully denied
Fair Plan claims
Low-ball or inadequate insurance claim payments
Unreasonably delayed insurance claim payments
Wrongful insurance policy cancellations
Below are some of the key steps we take to make sure that you get a fair settlement.
1) Investigate & review
We investigate the damage to your property. Then we review your insurance policy to find coverage for your loss and determine if your claim is being settled fairly.
2) Negotiate
Once we’ve investigated the claim and analyzed your insurance coverage, we’ll communicate with the insurance company or invite them to mediation to resolve the claim quickly. Mediation is facilitated by a neutral mediator to see if a confidential resolution can be reached with the carrier to make up for the harms caused by unreasonable delay or withholding of your policy benefits
5) To trial if necessary
If the carrier refuses to negotiate in good faith or mediate, we’ll likely take the case to trial. And the odds are we will win because we dig deeper, work harder, and expose companies that break the rules.
Insurance companies may deny your perfectly valid claim, or take a hard line on a settlement that is much less than you are entitled to under your policy. They’re betting you won’t fight back against a company with hundreds of billions in the bank.
The lawyers across the table from us know that we try cases, and we win, which makes obtaining favorable settlements much easier.
