Business Insurance

Has your commercial – business insurance claim been denied? Our business insurance bad faith lawyers will tell you not to take “no” for an answer. Commercial or business insurance is a necessity for businesses large and small.

An insurance policy is a contract between your business and the insurance company. That contract creates a special duty for insurance companies that requires them to treat your business (the policyholder) with the highest degree of good faith and fair dealing. Assuming you have submitted a valid claim that is covered by your policy, a business insurance company is acting in bad faith if they:

  • Refuse to defend a policyholder in a lawsuit
  • Deny coverage of your business insurance claim
  • Unreasonably delay payment of your business insurance claim
  • Fail or refuse to pay a valid business insurance claim
  • Fail to investigate a business insurance claim before it is denied
  • Wrongfully refuse to settle a business insurance claim
  • Under pay the full value of a business insurance claim

What Should I Do When My Business Insurance Company Denies a Claim?

You have paid for your business insurance coverage, possibly for many years, so you should be able to count on your commercial insurance company to be there when you need them. The reality is that business insurance companies often deny valid claims, refuse to the full value of claims and unreasonably delay payment of claims.

Business owners often try to take on the insurance company alone. They may fight through a complicated appeal process or exchange angry emails and telephone calls with representatives from their insurance company. Meanwhile, your business is out of business or suffering under the weight of the unpaid claim. Hiring an experienced business insurance bad faith lawyer is the first step to getting things back on track. Retaining a business insurance bad faith lawyer as soon as your claim has been denied will help ensure a swift, positive outcome.
