Bad Faith Insurance Cases

You sustained injuries in a car accident that was not your fault. Despite your pain and mounting medical bills, the insurance company has failed to evaluate your case fairly, and they made a low-ball offer. It feels wrong. We know how to make it right. This greedy move by the insurer may create an opportunity for you to obtain a substantially greater recovery. We have succeeded at turning insurer greed into a full, fair recovery for our clients numerous times. In fact, just recently, we obtained a $375,000 recovery for our client even though the total available insurance was only $100,000.

Bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to act fairly. Insurers can act in bad faith by:

  • Trying to take advantage of injured people,
  • Improperly or unfairly evaluating a claim,
  • Failing to properly pay benefits to its insured, whether they are medical or UIM/UM benefits, or
  • Failing to take steps to adequately protect their at-fault insured.

When insurance companies get greedy and try to take advantage of our clients, we know how to make them pay what they should. In fact, when we win a bad faith case, we make the insurer pay way more than they would have if they had originally evaluated and paid the claim fairly.

What PA’s No Fault Insurance Law Means for Accident Victims

Pennsylvania insurance law is a little different than it is in many other states and it is important to understand that difference if you have been in a Pennsylvania car accident.

Pennsylvania’s no fault insurance policy provides that a victim’s own insurance company must pay his or her medical bills regardless of who was at fault for the accident.  In other words, even if someone else caused your injuries, your own insurance company is responsible for paying your medical expenses pursuant to the terms of your insurance policy.Read More
