Do you believe you’ve been a victim of bad faith insurance practices? Call Axion Law GroupR!
Submitting claims to your insurance provider is already tedious. Ensuring you have all the information they will ask for at any given time makes for an extremely slow process. While many car insurance companies have added some type of online claim submittal as a convenience to policyholders, the claims process is still not easy.
Understanding whatever policy you have is important in knowing when you may be getting duped. Insurance companies are businesses, after all, so their main goal is to make a profit. That can look like not delivering on the promises outlined in your policy. This is a serious crime and shouldn’t be taken lightly. If you believe this has happened to you, contacting a bad faith insurance lawyer is a great option.

With a background in trial law, Attorney Eric Chavez believes every client deserves access to quality legal assistance.

Fortunately, Attorney Chavez saw this as an opportunity to fill a much-needed gap in legal services for everyday people. Axion Law GroupR offers compassionate care and support during your time of need. While many bad faith insurance law firms play a high-volume game, our aim is different. We want to know our clients' needs and offer a reality-based solution. With our support, you’ll be well on your way to recouping much of the damages your bad faith insurance provider has caused.
Insurance is a necessity for most people. Random acts of violence, the inherent risk of the real world, and high-risk occupations guarantee that an accident isn’t a matter of “if” but a matter of “when.” With so many people buying insurance as a necessity, you might assume that this line of business is very lucrative.
Although the insurance field can be profitable, the money an insurance company keeps by unduly dismissing claims and withholding coverage payouts can make these businesses even richer. This is illegal. Bad faith insurance practices can take many forms, but they each fulfill a common purpose: to keep money in the insurance company’s pocket.
Any time an insurance company uses tactics to impede or prevent a policyholder from receiving payouts from a covered incident, it can be considered bad faith. Insurance companies are required to provide the coverage that policyholders pay for. Unfortunately, many insurance companies keep from paying policyholders to keep more profit for their business.
If your insurance company has taken longer than average to process your claim, you may have been a victim of a bad faith insurance claim. Most insurance policies cover incidents for an allotted amount of time. Suppose the incident you’ve encountered has no extenuating circumstances attached to it, meaning there is nothing out of the ordinary about your claim. In that case, there are standard procedures to follow. However, some insurance companies will take longer than is needed to process claims. Sometimes, they fail to settle them within the required time and deny the claim.
Insurance companies may even make extremely low settlement offers based on bogus reasons made up by the company. With this tactic, it will still seem like they provide the coverage you’ve been paying for. Insurance companies are big businesses and can yield a lot of power, so often, people will not want to take them to court. This means that many people may just accept the offer and not raise any questions as to why.
Jefferson County, WA residents luckily have the Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA) and the Washington Consumer Protection Act (CPA) to help ensure that these bad faith insurance claims can be handled. Each act creates a course of action for victims to remedy their situations. Bad faith insurance claim attorneys use these laws to help aid their clients in seeking justice.
