Insurance Claims
Many personal injury cases involve insurance policies. For example a Turbin Chu lawyer will often make a claim for a victim of an automobile accident against the insurance company insuring the automobile driven by the driver at fault. Sometimes an insurance company will wrongfully deny payment. This can be considered an insurance company acting in “bad faith.” Other examples can be a disability insurance company denying payments when an insured is disabled from working or a health insurer denying payment for medical treatment when its insured is in bad health.
An insurance policy is considered a contract between a client (person being insured) and an insurance carrier or company. Contracts such as these require that the company act in "good faith" in dealings with the client. When an insurance company declines to pay the client benefits due him or her as put forth in the policy, the insurance company is acting in "bad faith."
Turbin Chu have represented many clients in Insurance “Bad Faith” cases and have won clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in such cases. Victoria Roy, a Turbin Chu client says that “Turbin Chu took my bad faith case when many other lawyers turned me down. They have worked very hard to win me fair compensation against insurance companies who denied me coverage. I would recommend them to any accident victim who has been treated unfairly by an insurance company!”
Unfortunately some insurance companies attempt to unfairly deny claims for invalid reasons. Furthermore, when an insurer or insurance carrier or company acknowledges that a claim or lawsuit is covered by the insurance policy, it often attempts to underpay a claim. A Court must determine if an insurance company is behaving in a "reasonable" manner in order to then conclude that the insurance company is acting in good faith. In most states, the insurance company or carrier may not put its own interest above that of the client being insured.
In order to prove bad faith, the insured person and/or their legal representative need only prove to the court that the insurance carrier or company did not uphold their part of the agreement and had insufficient reason for denial of payment to their client in order to prove bad faith.
It is the duty of insurance companies to treat their clients fairly. An insurance contract contains, by law, an unwritten promise or covenant of good faith that the client will be treated fairly by his or her insurance company. The client's reasonable expectations must be met by the insurance company. The insurer should give the same if not more consideration, financially speaking, to their client as they do to their own or the firm's finances as it relates to financial settlements due the client.
