Texas Lawyers Pursue Payment of Insurance Claims
We recognize the importance of insurance — we pay for it and, above all, depend on it. There are few events more troubling than when an insurance company does not back up its product by making good on its promises of protection. In some cases, having an insurance claim denied or unreasonably delayed could put you, the policyholder, at risk of financial ruin.
Whether your problem is with a homeowner's claim, a car insurance claim, your health coverage or a business liability matter, the stakes can be very high. Please contact our attorneys if you are having problems with an important insurance claim.
Homeowner's Claims — Car Insurance — Disability Claims
If you have homeowners insurance, you probably believe you have adequate protection against the many perils and events that can cause significant damage to your property, such as fire, storm, wind and hail. Depending on your location and coverage, you may have also purchased protection against flooding, theft, vandalism and other mishaps.
This same basic principle of payment for protection applies to most types of insurance, including:
- Auto insurance
- Property insurance covering your small business
- Health, life, accidental death or disability insurance
Legal Help When Your Insurance Claim Is Denied or Delayed
Unfortunately, it is all too common for insurance companies to try to avoid paying your claim — especially a large claim for substantial property damage or medical care. In our experience dealing with insurance companies, we have seen and dealt with many acts of denial, deception and insurance bad faith.
For example, we have represented policyholders who have lost property in house fires or incurred major storm damage — only to have their insurers claim that their policies had been cancelled or that they did not have coverage for the specific event.
Fighting for the Protection You Purchased
For any type of insurance, we strongly recommend that you ask key questions about your coverage before you purchase. When you receive your policy, read it to confirm that you actually have the coverage you believe you purchased. In all dealings with insurance companies, get questions answered in writing and keep all documentation.
These are excellent precautionary steps, but they are not always enough to protect you. At the Law Office of Mark A. Ticer, we take action for people who have been victimized by insurance companies that do not uphold their obligations.
