How Auto Insurance Companies Try to Weasel Out of Their Commitments

All too often, once your car has been damaged in an accident or declared a total loss either after a crash or as the result of theft, your insurance company will:

Underpay for reasonably priced repairs recommended by the body shop
Underpay for your stolen or totaled car
Take far too long to make a decision about paying your claim, while you are left without the use of a vehicle

Our law team knows all the tricks insurance companies use to lower the amount they offer to pay for legitimate claims, including:

Telling you that you are not entitled to compensation because you exaggerated the property damage and your losses were not as substantial as reported.
Wrongfully assigning you fault for the accident as a means to avoid paying your claim and also to raise your premium.
Looking back at your insurance application to find mistakes and other information that they will use to try to invalidate your claim.

It is important to remember that you have recourse when you are treated unfairly by your auto insurance company and that your insurance company does not have the final say in deciding whether your claim should be paid under the terms of the policy. The court does. That’s why having a strong auto insurance dispute attorney who has in-depth knowledge of the law and is fully familiar with judicial processes is critical.

Breach of Contract vs Bad Faith

There are two possible types of wrongdoing that your insurance company may be engaging in: breach of contract and bad faith.

Breach of contract occurs when one party fails to uphold a specific requirement of a contract, in this case your insurance policy. In other words: you have met the terms of your insurance contract by paying your premiums, but the company is failing to uphold its end of the bargain by denying your valid claim and you are suffering real financial loss as a result.

Bad faith means deliberately misleading through an act of intentional dishonesty. In most cases, our attorneys will be disputing a breach of contract, but we can pursue a case of bad faith if there is evidence of dishonesty, such as:

Denying your claim without a stated reason
Failing to conduct a prompt and complete investigation
Making threatening statements
Misrepresenting the law or the language of the policy itself
Refusing reasonable requests for documentation
Refusing to pay a valid claim

Our lawyers will determine which type of misconduct is in play in your particular case so that we can fight the injustice on appropriate legal grounds.
