Bad Faith Insurance

If your insurance claim - be it auto insurance, homeowners’ coverage, disability insurance, life insurance, and business liability coverage - has been wrongfully denied, you should seek experienced legal representation to ensure that your rights are protected. When you purchase insurance, your insurance company owes you a duty to act fairly and in good faith. To act otherwise is to act in “bad faith.”

At Ingram | Wilkinson, our Mississippi bad faith insurance attorneys can handle your claim if:

• Your insurance company refuses to pay even though it is due under your policy.
• Your insurance company offers payment below what is dictated by your policy.
• Your insurance company delays your payment for an unjustifiable length of time.
• Your insurance company fails to reasonably settle a case brought against you (within your policy limits), resulting in your having to pay an unduly high amount at the close of a trial.

In issues of bad faith insurance, the law has been created to uphold a contract that has been breached. The concept behind bad faith insurance is that it requires both the insurer and the insurance holder to act in a "reasonable" manner.

Denied Insurance Claims

After an auto accident, medical emergency, or catastrophic loss, you expect your insurance company to make good on the terms of the policy you have paid into. However, insurance companies are businesses and sometimes knowingly refuse to pay legitimate claims or insist upon unreasonable documentation or other requirements before paying out. These sorts of delayed and denied insurance claims are a breach of contract – and they cost you money.

If your insurance company has accepted premiums but denied a valid insurance claim, you may have recourse. At our Hattiesburg, Mississippi office, our insurance attorneys handle claims involving health insurance, disability insurance, home insurance, and auto insurance. To discuss the possibility of filing a claim, contact Ingram│Wilkinson today. Our bad faith insurance attorneys can help you obtain the compensation to which you are entitled.

Post-claim Underwriting

Post-claim underwriting is an unfair insurance practice in which an insurer issues a policy to an applicant without thoroughly reviewing their medical records and only upon the submission of a claim, conduct a thorough examination. If the insurer then finds a medical condition that would have disqualified the applicant from coverage in the first place, the insurer then attempts to rescind the policy, leaving the applicant uninsured.

Our Mississippi insurance attorneys aggressively represent clients who have unjustly had their insurance policies rescinded as the result of post-claim underwriting. To schedule a free evaluation of your case, contact Ingram│Wilkinson today.
