Insurance Claims
To some extent, most personal injury claims are really claims against insurance companies. On this page, however, we are not discussing claims against a wrongdoer who happens to be insured by an insurance company. Rather, this page discusses claims made directly against insurers, either for benefits due under an insurance policy, or for bad faith.
We have handled claims for benefits due under life or disability plans, as well as claims for benefits due under business or property insurance. In these claims, careful study of the insurance policy is normally required, and the insured must be careful to meet the requirements and conditions of the policy, insofar as possible.
We will also handle certain bad faith claims against insurance companies when a failure to act in good faith towards an insured, or towards a claimant, causes harm. Such bad faith claims can sometimes arise out of the claims settlement practices of the insurance company.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims are one particular species of claim against insurance companies. We handle many of these claims. In fact, one of our attorneys, Michael C. Jainchill, has co-authored a leading text on uninsured motorist law. However, because uninsured motorist claims always arise out of motor vehicle accidents, such claims are discussed on the separate page dedicated to motor vehicle accident claims.
