Frequently Asked Questions

Proving bad faith insurance requires a fair amount of evidence on your behalf. Insurance companies will do everything they can to save money – and their reputation. For this reason, they will likely fight your assertions with every resource they have. This is why it is so valuable to have the legal force of adept and experienced bad-faith insurance lawyers behind you. Here are some common ways to prove bad faith insurance claims:
  • Showing the insurance company’s outright refusal to pay a valid claim.
  • Displaying how your claim was undervalued.
  • Demonstrate how the company denied or twisted facts even with valid supporting evidence.
  • Attesting to intimidation tactics used by your insurance company to deter you from collecting fair compensation.
Yes, you can sue your car insurance company for bad faith. If you believe your insurance company violated the “implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing", you may have a viable claim to pursue. In these cases, it is important to keep in mind the complexities that exist in this area of law. Proving bad faith can be difficult, as it requires a significant amount of evidence. For this reason, it is critical to work with an experienced bad-faith insurance claim attorney. With their help, you will be able to establish a claim that asserts that your insurance benefits were withheld – on generally unreasonable grounds. This will enable you to pursue fair and full compensation for your losses.
There are many factors that determine the value of a bad faith claim in Washington. In most cases, your original insurance policy only makes up part of the final settlement. In order to compensate you for the hardship the insurance company put you through, bad faith claims can include non-economic damages, economic damages, and sometimes punitive damages. Examples of non-economic damages that you may receive restitution for include:
  • Pain & suffering
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of reputation
  • Physical impairment
There are also economic damages to account for, which may include:
  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills
  • Relocation costs
  • Contractor work
  • Repair costs
  • Loss of property
The best way to accurately calculate the value of your insurance claim is to work with a bad-faith attorney who understands the intricacies of this particular area of law.

Our Tacoma Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You Win a Bad Faith Claim Against an Insurance Company

Trial Lawyer Eric S. Chavez created Axion Law Group to help individuals get back on track after a tragedy caused by someone else’s negligence. At the beginning of his law career, Mr. Chavez acted as a defense lawyer for an insurance company. With many trials and arbitration cases, he experienced how insurance companies often disregard the human side of injuries and insurance claims. Instead, insurance companies increase their profit margins by viewing cases merely as business concerns to be settled cheaply or hard-fought, regardless of the cost. Mr. Chavez offers legal counsel to clients regarding personal injury, wrongful death, truck accidents, business property claims, and insurance bad faith cases. Our firm can provide legal services remotely through virtual technology, whether at your home, office, or any other location that’s convenient for you. So, if you live in Pierce County, Snohomish County, Lewis County, Mason County, Gray’s Harbor County, Jefferson County, Thurston County, Kitsap County, and King County, Washington, we are available in person, by phone or via videoconference.
