Auto Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer

There are times when it is necessary to file a car crash lawyerclaim with either your own insurance company, or the insurance company that insured the other person that is responsible for your injury or the accident.  The latter generally is done because of the “bad faith” handling of the claim.  Bad Faith claims are filed against an insurance company generally because of the way they had handled the case, perhaps because of a delay in handling, a low ball offer on a claim that has been submitted, or the failure to pay the claim when the insurance company had the opportunity to do so.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims

In addition, your own insurance company may be sued because of the fact that the other party that caused the accident did not have insurance at all (an Uninsured Motorist Claim-UM), or because the other party had inadequate insurance limits (an Underinsured Motorist Claim-UIM).  These kinds of cases have their own sets of rules, and it is important that you again discuss this with an attorney. The cases are generally handled through arbitration, and outside the normal courtroom setting, without a jury.
