Pompano Beach Insurance Law

Policyholders in Florida are protected by the Unfair Claim Settlement Practices Act, which requires insurance companies to act in specific ethical and honest manners. This law also prevents insurance companies from unfairly denying claims and undervaluing claims.

Insurance disputes occur when a policyholder an insurance company cannot come to an agreement over an insurance claim. An insurance policyholder may submit a claim and the insurance company may pay out less than the insurance holder believes they are entitled to or may deny the claim entirely.

If you think you have an insurance dispute or a legal claim against your insurance carrier, contact personal injury attorneys in Pompano Beach or your community for assistance. If you need an attorney, you can always contact the Flaxman Law Group to arrange a free case evaluation.

There may be many situations in which a policyholder may have a claim under the Unfair Claim Settlement Practices Act and other laws:

• An insurance company avoids paying a valid claim
• An insurance company reduces the payment for policyholder
• An insurance company commits fraud
• An insurance company deceives or misleads a policyholder
• An insurance company does not meet an obligation outlined in the policyholder contract
• An insurance company takes part in conscious wrongdoing

Unfortunately, in many cases it is difficult to prove that an insurance company has failed to act appropriately. An insurance company may claim that they are perfectly in the right in denying your claim or undervaluing your claim. You'll need to work with a personal injury attorney or an insurance law attorney in order to find evidence of wrongdoing and in order to negotiate with your insurance company. If your insurance company continues to deny your claim, you may be able to take the insurance company to court and pursue a legal case so that you can get your insurance money.

Depending on the specifics of the situation, there may be a few types of claims that a policyholder can pursue:

• Personal injury case
• Unfair claims handling case
• Bad-faith case

Many types of insurance can create insurance dispute cases:

• Business property insurance
