Business Destruction

In today’s economy and market, business destruction, through anti-competitive actions, fraud, and misrepresentation, is ever increasing. Businesses have all the rights individuals have to be free from fraud and anti-competitive behavior. It is important that business owners are aware of those rights so that they can maintain and/or restore financial security and stability. To protect and restore these rights businesses need good litigation counsel in addition to good corporate counsel. Ingram│Wilkinson is experienced in handling litigation for businesses that have been destroyed or financially ruined as a result of anti-trust, anti-competitive actions, lender liability, fraud, breach of contract, and negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Insurance Fraud and Bad Faith

Another aspect of business destruction that has dramatically increased recently and has negatively impacted businesses across Mississippi and the Gulf South is insurance fraud and bad faith refusal of insurance companies to pay legitimate claims submitted by businesses. Following Hurricane Katrina these incidents have unfortunately been on the rise. Many Mississippi and Gulf South businesses, with single or multiple locations, sustained catastrophic hurricane damage and the insurance companies have refused to pay. This failure to pay, in many instances, results in financial damage or total ruin. In an effort to avoid lawful and rightful payment to the businesses under the coverage purchased, insurance companies have engaged in breaching their duties under the terms of the contract of insurance, misrepresentation, and the breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, among other breaches. Businesses that have been victimized by the insurance industry's desire to bolster profits for their shareholders rather than perform their duties under the contracts of insurance that have been bought and paid for need litigators to make the insurance companies do the right thing: to abide by their obligations under the legally enforceable contract of insurance.

A business tort attorney at Ingram│Wilkinson has the experience needed to stand up to these insurance companies. We have been very successful in handling major business litigation against insurance companies as a result of Hurricane Katrina and before. Unfortunately, there are sure to be other disasters making it necessary for businesses to be prepared with appropriate litigation counsel to protect their businesses and legal rights.
