Insurance Claims and Bad Faith Insurance

Insurance Companies Make Money by Taking Your Premiums and Avoiding Paying for Your Claims

Every month you mail in your insurance premium check with the belief that your insurer will be there when you need it.  You purchase insurance for your car, home, health and business, as an effort to protect yourself.  The insurance company appears to be on your side, until you file a claim.  Suddenly, you become the insurer’s adversary.

Insurance companies are notorious for being difficult to work with and they frequently deny insurance claims, make lowball settlement offers and delay payments.  Why are some of the largest insurers using these bad faith insurance tactics?  You have to remember that insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying claims.

If you are in battle with the insurance company, you need to contact an experienced New Hampshire insurance lawyer the Law Offices of Van Dorn and Curtiss at (877) 611-9622.  We handle bad faith insurance claims in New Hampshire and Vermont including Manchester, Nashua, and Concord.

Do you have a New Hampshire or Vermont bad faith insurance claim?

If you feel that the insurance company acted in bad faith, you may be able to file a claim against the insurance company.  Some examples of bad faith insurance actions include:

• Wrongfully denying your insurance claim
• Trying to settle your claim for an unfair amount
• Delaying the payment of your insurance claim
• Misrepresenting the facts
• Refusing to pay benefits
• Failing to promptly and thoroughly investigate your claim

We make sure you get fair and just settlements from insurance companies.

While an insurance settlement can make all the difference when your property is damaged or when you are injured, to the insurance company, you are only a case number.  Your idea of a just settlement may be different than what your insurer has in mind.   The insurance adjuster has a settlement range to work within and will typically start at the lower end.  In fact, there have even been reports of major insurance companies rewarding employees for settling claims quickly, for as little amount as possible.  A knowledgeable New Hampshire insurance attorney from our office can step in on your behalf to negotiate a fair and just settlement.

We know the great lengths to which insurance companies go to protect their own interests and we will work hard to ensure that you are not taken advantage of.  The Law Offices of Van Dorn and Curtiss have earned a reputation of being zealous advocates for our clients.  Contact us today at (877) 611-9622 to find out how we can help you with your bad faith insurance claim.
