Bad Faith Insurance Claims Attorney Florence, South Carolina
Representing People With Denied Insurance Claims
We buy insurance so that we have coverage for automobile accidents, hospitalization or property damage to the family home. Many insurance companies strive to deal with policyholder claims fairly and with minimum delay. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sometimes claims adjustors fail to handle a claim in good faith, naming a ridiculously low settlement sum or stretching out the negotiations for longer than necessary. The insurance company's representatives tell you one thing the first time you call, and something completely different on subsequent calls — all while you have a valid claim that needs a payout.
The attorneys at Aiken, Bridges, Elliott, Tyler, & Saleeby, PA, have significant experience in insurance law and insurance defense, knowledge we can leverage in pursuing your bad faith insurance claim. We know how insurance companies work, and the decision-making process they are supposed to follow.

Pursuing Bad Faith Insurance Claims for People Like You
When clients come to the law offices of Aiken Bridges with a bad faith insurance claim, it usually involves a third party claim. Here's how a typical case might work:
You get rear-ended by a careless driver, who injures you and damages your car. You lose wages because you cannot go back to work right away. The medical bills are piling up, and the car still isn't fixed. You file a claim against the negligent driver's insurance company, and run into a dead end. Their adjustors refuse to settle, citing any number of reasons. They may believe that you had a pre-existing injury, which they believe they would not have to cover. By delaying payment or denying coverage, they make your injury worse, because you, in turn, have to delay treatment.
Our attorneys also represent the interests of the negligent driver in bad faith insurance claims. If the insurance company fails to honor the claims of the injured party, the negligent driver may suffer the hardship of paying for damages.
The insurance company may have damaged you further by refusing to renew or terminating a policy without proper notification. Our attorneys can help you file a suit for damages, including attorneys' fees and compensation for your loss. We believe that the insurance company has a duty to deal with you fairly and reasonably. If the actions of the insurance company harm you, causing measurable money damage, we recommend you consult with a skilled bad faith insurance claim lawyer at our firm. Many bad faith insurance claims are complex, requiring a fact-driven investigation and analysis into denied claims.
