Florida Bad Faith Property Damage Claim Lawyers
At Rafferty Domnick Cunningham & Yaffa, we understand how critical insurance is in times of need. When insurance companies act in bad faith—denying valid claims, undervaluing property damage, or stalling payments—it can leave policyholders feeling helpless and financially burdened. Our experienced Florida bad faith property damage claim lawyers are dedicated to holding insurers accountable and securing the compensation you rightfully deserve.
What is Bad Faith Insurance?
Insurance companies have a legal duty to act in good faith when handling claims. Unfortunately, some insurers prioritize profits over people, engaging in practices that unfairly disadvantage policyholders. Bad faith insurance occurs when an insurer deliberately delays, denies, or underpays a legitimate claim without valid justification.
Examples of bad faith insurance practices include:
- Unreasonable Delays: Prolonged claim processing without clear explanations.
- Unjustified Denials: Refusing legitimate claims without sufficient evidence or reasoning.
- Lowball Offers: Offering settlements far below the value of the damages.
- Failure to Communicate: Ignoring policyholders or providing vague responses.
- Misrepresentation of Policy Terms: Misleading interpretations of coverage to avoid payouts.
