Bad Faith Insurance

Southeast Michigan Attorneys Helping Clients After Bad Faith Insurance Claim Denials

In simple terms, an insurance policy is a contract — the insured agrees to pay premiums and the insurance company is responsible to pay legitimate claims under the terms outlined in the agreement. If insurance companies knowingly or intentionally deny or delay payment on legitimate claims, this is known as a breach of contract in bad faith.

At Stearns & Coppins, PLLC, we have deep roots in consumer protection. Our attorneys are committed to holding insurance companies responsible when they deny claims in bad faith. If you believe your insurance company has denied or delayed payment on your legitimate claim in bad faith, put our law firm's experience to work for you.

Extensive Experience in Consumer Protection

Whenever an insurance claim is denied, you have the option to appeal. In the case of a bad faith insurance claim denial, you may also have the right to claim damages from the insurance company.

Working closely with you, our lawyers will carefully review the terms of your contract, examine your denied claim, and seek out all available evidence of bad faith. We will carefully consider every detail as we develop a compelling case that insurance bad faith took place, such as:

• Refusing to quickly and thoroughly investigate a claim
• Intentionally delaying payment
• Intentionally misinterpreting policy terms
• Refusing reasonable attempts to settle a case
• Underpaying claims without legitimate reasons

We aggressively seek compensation — including punitive damages and attorneys fees — for individuals and businesses victimized by bad faith insurance claim denials. Our law firm has a strong track record of success in demonstrating misconduct by insurance companies and holding them accountable for it.

Your insurance company might also be liable under the Michigan's Consumer Protection Act for deceptive or unfair business practices. We will carefully review the facts of your case to determine whether deception has occurred and vigorously pursue all potential claims.
