California Insurance Bad Faith Litigation Attorneys

An insurance policy is a contract between the policyholder and the insurance company. In exchange for payment of premiums, the insurance company agrees to:
- Provide the coverage described in the policy
- Act fairly and in good faith towards its policyholders
- Consider the interests of its policyholders equal to its own interests
When an insurance company denies payment of valid claims, unreasonably delays payment, fails to thoroughly investigate an insured's claim or underpays insurance claims without a good reason, it is said to be acting in bad faith. Was your insurance cancelled after you made a claim? That may also be an act of bad faith.
At the San Francisco law office of Pillsbury & Levinson, LLP, our insurance attorneys pursue insurance bad faith litigation on behalf of individuals and businesses involved in coverage disputes. We seek compensation for our clients' financial losses, as well as punitive damages and attorney's fees, when appropriate.
We know how to get results in bad faith insurance claim litigation regardless of the type of policy. Just a few examples include:
Not every denied claim amounts to insurance bad faith. However, when an insurance company acts in an especially outrageous or unreasonable manner, it should be held accountable and may be sued for insurance bad faith. To discuss possible insurance litigation with a member of our experienced legal team please contact Pillsbury & Levinson, LLP, today.
