Homeowner’s Insurance Claim Denied?

When you sign up for your insurance policy, your insurance company makes a promise to pay out for valid claims as long as you keep up with monthly payments. Unfortunately, many insurance providers will use bad faith tactics in an effort to get out of paying what they owe. If your claim has been wrongfully denied, delayed, or undervalued, it’s time to talk to a Texas home insurance lawyer.

Do You Need an Insurance Claim Lawyer?

Under Texas law, insurance companies owe policyholders fair compensation for home insurance claims covered under their insurance policies. However, there are many bad faith methods that insurers can use to either reduce what the insurance coverage they owe or completely reject your claim.
You should consider hiring a property damage attorney if your insurance adjuster has tried to delay handling your claim, made unfair requests, misrepresented your policy, made a lowball offer, or refused to thoroughly and promptly investigate your claim. Each of these tactics constitutes a type of bad faith and can open the insurance company up for legal action by policyholders. Through a property damage lawsuit, you may be eligible for full compensation for your original denied or underpaid claim.
Hiring an experienced property damage lawyer is important because insurance companies have the resources to hire a high-powered legal team to defend their actions, and these teams can put hurdle after hurdle between property owners and fair compensation. As if that weren’t reason enough, property damage laws are complex, and navigating the legal system often requires a deep understanding of that system. If you think your insurance company has acted unfairly, you need legal representation.

Common Types of Bad Faith Practices

Delay

Holding Up Claims

Your insurance company is required to promptly respond to claims on personal property damage. Delaying is bad faith.

Deny

Without a Fair Cause

Your denied claim must be rightfully justified by your insurance company. Otherwise, they might be acting in bad faith.

Refuse to Investigate

Not Handling Claims

Under Texas law, insurance companies are required to thoroughly investigate all legitimate claims within a reasonable time frame.

Mislead

Misrepresenting Policies

Insurers may misrepresent your property damage insurance policy in order to reject or undervalue your claim.

Misdistribution

Ignoring Beneficiary Designations

Life insurance companies may sometimes disregard beneficiary designations from policyholders and misdistribute benefits.
